Greed and narcissism indeed. You’ll get no disagreement from me on that one.

let's say caitlin's churchill quote was very effective. churchill is established empire on which the current empire is built. (come to think of it, nice counter to 'do you condemn hamas?' (or mao, or stalin) - 'do you condemn winston churchill?'.)
