When
for KNOCK US DOWN WITH YOUR LINES Contest
How many generations have to suffer
the stings of those who would be bigger than
they are? Cain, Goliath, Saul, Hammurabi, Xerxes...
Other Ages were no respite from Despots.
Caesars, Hannibal, Pharaohs, Machiavelli, Richard II,
and those of the Middle Ages. All these made us suffer...
The Great War was only another step on the road of
"Man's Inhumanity to Man". Hitler, Stalin, The Terrorists
of today. Can't we yet beat our swords into plowshares together...
