Given the choice between a culture and human lives, I know which side I pick. Cultures are expendable. People are not.

You may prefer to allow them to kill you, but don't expect me to go along with that. In today's technological world, if the will is there to kill us, then the means can be found easily enough. It's no longer a risk, it's a certainty, and must be treated so. [link\|http://www.aaxnet.com\|AAx]

Because you should never underestimate the unoriginality of the very stupid.
