" Pretty soon Sherburn sort of  laughed,

  not the pleasant kind but the kind that makes you feel

like when you are eating

bread that got sand in it"

 

Mark Twain

 

Adventures of Huckleberry   Finn

 

 

-           You   had not   aged a bit , Colonel since we talked for the first time in the Y2005.

You   are still the same- a proud Southern aristocrat, talking to the lynching   mob with a rifle in your hand. I though had aged considerably.   Misery   withers us,   Colonel; we are in deep trouble even more than before. We thought   the imbecile in power   was the   worst we could get but   now we have   a droner. This one kills from afar and     then talks about peace. If     he   was in charge   in   your time, Colonel, he would   not have rushed   with the mob; he would have put you on the list and   quietly   shot you in the back. Or he would have sent a drone to destroy your house and kill all in it; so effective we had become, Colonel. Oh, BTW, he is   African- American. Turned out that we are the same after all; malice and cowardice do not discriminate.
