Dallas aftermath

Two kinds of morality.

One which we preach but don’t practice,
the other which we practice but seldom preach.

 I won't let you beat me unfairly, I'll beat you unfairly first.

…so, in a month's time,
a tornado that would have devastated the Indonesian coast doesn't happen,
or maybe one that wasn't going to happen does.

I have studied the enemy all my life.

I have read the memoirs of his generals and his leaders.

I have even read his philosophers…

I have studied in detail the account of every damned one of his battles.

I know exactly how he will react under any given set of circumstances,
and he hasn’t the slightest idea of what I’m going to do.

So when the time comes,
I’m going to whip the hell out of him.

George S Patton
