I don't belong to any side. What's more, I think flags are nothing but painted rags that represent rancid emotions. Just seeing someone wrapped up in one of them, spewing out hymns, badges and speeches, gives me the runs.

Carlos Ruiz ZafonIt is difficult to hate an idea. That requires a certain intellectual discipline and a slightly obsessive, sick mind. There arenโt too many of those. Itโs much easier to hate someone with a recognizable face whom we can blame for everything that makes us feel uncomfortable. It doesnโt have to be an individual character. It could be a nation, a race, a group. . .anything.
