Gah! How could I forget?

YOUR SOUL-CRUSHING MOMENT OF THE WEEK:
"You seem to us...to see uncertainties as realities, simply because you would like them to be so."
--The Athenians, (right after the plucky little Melians decide to bank on being saved by the Spartans, and right before the Athenians kill all the adult male Melians, enslave the women and children and colonize the island. Darcy, this is not the part that reminds me of you.) Thucydides' "The Peloponnesian War"
