#2926: | One of the pleasures of the northern latitudes is the long, lazy sunsets. You got plenty of time to do what you want before dark. |

#3582: | The only opinions worth expressing are those that apply to every place and time, that people will still find meaningful years from now. |
#3586: | After WWII, there were still some old Nazis who believed in the cause. The only thing to do with these people is let time kill them off. |
