51. Revenge is instant gratification, that's why so many want it. There
was a story line in the movie "The Interpreter". It was some thing along the lines of if a family member was killed, the family had to mourn for 1 year. After that time, the murdered members family was permitted to tie the murderers hands behind his back and throw him in the river, and watch him drown. The point was most of the family members would save the victim, because revenge was the lazy mans vengeance (note to self: buy the movie for that illustration).

To allow the truth to come to the light, and let the people see it, without blinders, will set us ALL free, not just the choir.

Some people say a death by a 1000 cuts, I saw the harmless last straw.
