Are not encountered in these days chronic conflict. Those
With wealth exploit the poor. The venders of the very
Weapons which have forced you from your homes intend
To keep you far from theirs. You're too dark. You've
The wrong religion. Kindness is anachronistic. It's not
Practiced anymore. Like chivalry or decent manners,
Word of it is in museums. If you have sufficient cash,
Go read about it there.
