if it be well used: exclaim no more against it.” – Othello

“Over thy wounds now do I prophesy…
A curse shall light upon the limbs of men;
Domestic fury and fierce civil strife
Shall cumber all the parts of [Turkey];
Blood and destruction shall be so in use,
And dreadful objects so familiar,
That mothers shall but smile when they behold
Their infants quartered with the hands of war,
All pity choked with custom of fell deeds;
And [Erdogan’s] spirit, ranging for revenge,
With Ate by his side come hot from hell,
Shall in these confines with a monarch’s voice
Cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war.” – Julius Caesar

“When we are born we cry that we are come
To this great stage of fools.” – King Lear
And every day, it seems to get crazier. But I love it nonetheless. Happy Birthday USA – what better place to spend it, then the Grand Canyon?
