The bartender was perplexed when my Natal GF asked for "Gin and Tionic, with arse US=ass) in it". S African has a lot of Afrikaaner links, and that's how they say 'ice'... -- “It is not the truth of Marxism that explains the willingness of intellectuals to believe it, but the power that it confers on intellectuals, in their attempts to control the world. And since...it is futile to reason someone out of a thing that he was not reasoned into, we can conclude that Marxism owes its remarkable power to survive every criticism to the fact that it is not a truth-directed but a power-directed system of thought.” Sir Roger Scruton
