Bright Moments

don't get me wrong, i love this place, but recent events got me thinking about that classic, "The Prince." if Machiavelli were around today he would probably write that with respect to forums such as ours idea that theological and moral imperatives have no place there. "It must be understood," Machiavelli avers, "that a prince ... cannot observe all of those virtues for which men are reputed good, because it is often necessary to act against mercy, against faith, against humanity, against frankness, against religion, in order to preserve the state."
