Thank You, Stanislav

It's somewhat chilling to think that here I am, 25 years and change after my birth, and it all could have ended before I really knew what this place is all about.

Unfortunately, I have no doubt that this incident was not the last; nor do I have faith that the chances of something similar happening are any lower. Maybe that's just the years and years of conditioning the public to a state of constant fear coming to fruition; maybe it's just my rampant paranoia or unyielding pessimism. Who knows.

Not for nothin, but Santayana was right
