“over.”
― Bob Blanton, Delphi Alliance

“Then we have the real criminals.” “Who?” “The super-rich and the politicians.” “Do tell.” “They feel so entitled that when they can’t have their way, they resort to bribery, extortion, and general bullying to get what they want. Most of our politicians start out as ordinary middle-class citizens when they enter office, and twenty years later, most of them are multimillionaires.”
― Bob Blanton, Delphi Embassy
