THE FOOL
A member of a powerful and far reaching tribe, with overpowering influence in every area of human affairs.
It was he who invented nationalism and taught the nations war, it was he who invented class prejudice, the poll tax, newspapers, the legal system and car clampers.
As the dawn of civilisation first beheld he fooleth now! When the rest of us have retired to oblivion from old age and pestilence he will sit up and write ten volumes of his memoirs.
(Nick Dow with tongue firmly in cheek and once again heavily influenced by Ambrose Bierce)
