    This line of thought is much to my liking.
    If you should see a man walking down a crowded street talking aloud to himself, don't run in the opposite direction, but run towards him, because he's a poet. You have nothing to fear from the poet - but the truth.

    No, we're just extra priviliged, and we get a better feeling that we chose to help the website.

    I couldn't live in another democracy! I like to be in UCP as a member of the virtual Gestapo, paying respect only to my Führer Wouter, and being a bastard to everyone else. Modern politicians are often overlooked. Dictators are much rarer and respected.

    Democracy is a hugely overated system anyways.
