Maurice,

Indeed he did "borrow" it.  I liked this quote even better when that =
great political leader Joseph Stalin first uttered it.

To quote Comrade Stalin exactly: "One death is a tragedy; a million is a =
statistic."

It's one thing for the Oils to quote Zapata.  But for Manson to quote =
Stalin.  Heck!

Well, I shall leave the moral conundrum (or lack thereof) to the rest of =
you Powderworkers, Leni Riefenstahl notwithstanding (or withstanding, if =
her heirs may wish the Nazi propogandist to withstand).

--Virgil.
