Again and again I am reminded that honey is more effective than vinegar. Yes, by all means. Let’s try the honeyed approach with the Turks for a change, not only because it is more civilized or effective but also because we have wasted vast amounts of vinegar without any tangible results.

ON THE 1%
*************************
We are told the 1% create jobs.
What we are not told is where would the 1% be

in a Turkish sea.”
My question:
Did we have to die by the million
in order to reach that earth-shaking conclusion?

ON JUSTICE
***********************
Life is not a one-way street
but a labyrinth designed not by God
but the Devil.
*
It is not enough to know the law;
you must also know the judge.
*
If you know the judge,
you can get away not only with murder
but also with genocide.
