I, too, will add one from Gandalf:

Every time I hear a politician of either party talk, I think of the line from the film "Billy Madison":

"Nowhere in your rambling, incoherent, response did you come close to anything that resembled a rational thought. We are all dumber for having heard it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul."

There is a story about the Greek Gods; they were bored so they invented human beings, but they were still bored so they invented love, then they weren't bored any longer. So they decided to try love for themselves. And finally, they invented laughter, so they could stand it.
~ Professor Harry Stevenson, Feast of Love

All right, but apart from the sanitation, medicine, education, wine, public order, irrigation, roads, the fresh water system and public health, what have the Romans ever done for us?
