More From Pliny The Elder

... in a cycle as old as tribalism, ignorance of the other engenders fear; fear engenders hatred; hatred engenders violence; violence engenders further violence until the only "rights", the only law, are whatever is willed by the most powerful.

I would like a wine. the purpose of the wine is to get me drunk. a bad wine will get me as drunk as a good wine. i would like the good wine. and since the result is the same no matter which wine i drink, i'd like to pay the bad wine price.

Ignorance Mean Men
