  Quotes [return][return]That s how it is in our parts. You may hate the foreigner, but most of all you hate your neighbor.

The former probably because, while it was speaking of 12th century Italy, still holds true today. The latter because it holds close to what I think about position and power. There is very little separating many powerful people in the world from many vagabond existances, save circumstance.
