I'll have to check in more often.<BR/><BR/>Anyone that has been to my blog knows mine, but I'll repost it here and what it means to me.<BR/><BR/>"There is no avoiding war; it can only be postponed to the advantage of others" --Niccolo Machiavelli<BR/><BR/>First, I <B>LOVE</B> Machiavelli's 'The Prince'. Almost 500 years old and it's insight into the minds of politics and power is incredibly poignant today.<BR/><BR/>Basically, to me, the quote means not to avoid conflict of any sort. Physical, emotional, mental.

We have done so much, for so long, with so little, that we are now qualified to do anything with nothing."<BR/><BR/>My favorite phrase in college was one from a t-shirt I used to own. "Ne te confundant illegitimi" - which supposedly was Latin for "Don't let the bastards get you down."
