    Roman Cavalry Officer

    de gustibus non disputandum est - I lost my 'cool' and there is nothing I can do about it. As per 'your questioning' - the notion of questioning is so fundamental to the Western civilization, to any progress and growth - do question anything and all, just do not be blissfully ignorant and...
