William Francis Buckley (William F. Buckley, Jr.) Quotes
It was rumored, in 1946, that the hangman in Nuremberg adjusted the nooses of some of the condemned to magnify the pain of suffocation. Such sadism was not called for then and is not called for now. But if fornication is wrong, there is no denying that it can bring pleasure. The death of Saddam Hussein at rope's end brings a pleasure that is undeniable, and absolutely chaste in its provenance.

I don't really get a lot of clarity in my everyday life and my interactions with people. Most things that happen to me aren't very straightforward.
