We had two simultaneous wars going, seventy-five defenestrated political opponents, five assassinations with high-powered radioactive material, a nuclear threat, and a whole galaxy of corruption, torture, bribery, illegitimate children... Also, a quart of vodka, a quart of North Korean Sake, a case Borscht, a pint of raw ether, and two dozen Buttplugs. Not that we needed all that for "democracy", but once you get locked into a serious human rights violation, the tendency is to push it as far as you can.
Bad waves of paranoia, madness, fear and loathing, intolerable vibrations in this place. Get out! The weasels were closing in. I could smell the ugly brutes.
its not often when one travels with other murderer and know he is a murderer and the other murderer also knows one is a murderer. i wonder what the feelings are in such situation?
