forget it!

So, you want to live in peace and harmony, not kill and not be killed!

Forget it! That's right, less than a snowball's chance in a hot hell!

You see, that guy on the other side doesn't much care what you want; he's egotistical enough to think that you don't even count as a human being, so how can your desires, even for peace, have legitimacy?

And if he really had to choose between your peace and his entrance into a paradise flowing with wine and honey, well, what chance does your peace have?

Sadly, if you were him you'd make the same choice.

That's your problem; what's the solution? Education, and about 200 years of fierce confrontation!

See you on the ramparts1
