GODDAMMIT!  Sylvain's right AGAIN!!!  Am I the only
one that find's that fucking annoying!?!

Ain't it amazing how the circle keeps spinning?  Just
a few years into this century a Serb puts a bullet in
an Arch Duke's head, and we're still reeling.  And
that ain't even where the circle started.

Tell me it ain't all connected.  Tell me we ain't all
culpable.

On second thought, don't tell me-- tell John Sylvain.
