Quote Of The Day, Week And Month................

The way things have been going, all the chaos and things going down the tube, I was forcefully reminded that sometimes, good comes out of bad times. While watching a favorite movie "The Third Man" one of the characters, a very bad guy named Harry Lime said this:

"In Italy for 30 years under the Borgias they had warfare, terror, murder, and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, and the Renaissance. In Switzerland they had brotherly love - they had 500 years of democracy and peace, and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock."

Sorta makes you think....................

Well, there IS that.......

But since Third Man was filmed in 1949 we can cut the writers a little slack. (grin)

The next several years should produce many interesting things.
