And what the nature of a petty feud? Where pride replaces peaceful, prosperous life; Where little things as mountains are construed, And things far greater die within...

I wonder. I wonder what will happen when all the English dictionaries are burnt and Shakespeare is abolished as FAR RIGHT and Racist, and when the Beatles are vilified for 'She Loves You' when it should have been 'they them love you'.
