yeah, well, my old lady just told me that (having been born in
in the same small town as John Brown) John Brown's younger sister
was my great-great-great-grandmother...
I guess that gives me the right to express the thought that
anybody pushed far enough into the corner will behave like
any other cornered animal --and some of us will just react
a little sooner... and a great deal nastier.
I never picked a fight, but I have more than finished a few.
remember: revenge is best served up cold.
attila out...
