A Greek and an Italian were talking one day,
                 discussing who had the superior culture.

                 Over coffee, the Greek says "Well, we built the
                 Parthenon."
                 The Italian replies "We built the Coliseum."

                 The Greek retorts "We Greeks gave birth to mathematics."
                 The Italian, nodding, says "But we built the Roman
                 Empire ".

                 And so on and so on until the Greek comes up with what
                 he thinks will end the discussion.
                 With a flourish of finality he says "We invented sex!"

                 The Italian replies "That is true, but it was the
                 Italians who included women.
"Listen to the mustn'ts, child. Listen to the don'ts. Listen to the shouldn'ts, the impossibles, the won'ts. Listen to the never haves, then listen close to me . . . Anything can happen, child. Anything can be"

Wait...someone might be offended. :imsorry:
But not me :lau:
Quite difficult matters can be explained even to a slow-witted man, if only he has not already adopted a wrong opinion about them; but the simplest things cannot be made clear even to a very intelligent man if he is firmly persuaded that he already knows, and knows indubitably, the truth of the matter under consideration. -Leo Tolstoy

When the law no longer protects you from the corrupt, but protects the corrupt from you - then you know your nation is doomed.
