  I keep telling people occasional war is a good thing.  Half the medical 
advancements come from war injuries that would have taken a whole lot longer if 
it weren't for that.  It only costs the lives of those who probably wouldn't 
be largely productive members of the community.

  They look at me like I just said I like eating babies on toast.  Idiots. 
They're much better as a stew.
