The point is there is no point. Nobody really cares about how things started, but merely that they are finished.

Nobody ever learns from these things. The killing, the hating, it still continues. And those of us who give a damn try to end the madness, and try to make people change, where we can. I'm still unsure how either of us sleeps at night.

[professor_w]

Well, that'd be what the whiskey's for. I'd hoped you might be sleeping easier now; you're well out of it.

I'm just experiencing the intolerance at a different level. The last couple of years at college haven't been exactly quiet. Sometimes I wonder why I even bothered with changing my life.

[professor_w]

And here I'd been thinking one of us had managed to quit and make it stick.

World's messed up everywhere, but most people manage to ignore it. But once an X-man, always yadda yadda, huh?

The marvel of all history is the patience with which men and women submit to burdens unnecessarily laid upon them by their governments.

[professor_w]

It's a marvel all right. Though I'm not sure how much is patience and how much is just plain not paying attention.

[antigone_grace]

Still. *smiles* I think your story's moral is quite important. Your goverment is lucky to have someone to clean up it's messes.
