It began in my kitchen where he was sitting with others. I am unaware of their identities. Gaddafi left his drink and food and headed toward the stairs (he needed a leak).

That's where I stopped him. Just the two of us, I took the opportunity to ask a single question. It had to to be important. My first thought was to ask about his relationship with Tony Blair. On balance however, the claims of mass torture seemed more important, so I asked about them.

>Paine wrote a pamphlet attacking the Monarchy and had to flee England in order to keep his head
>Blake wrote extensively of the cruelties and injustices of Industrial England, working alongside Wollstoncraft and other radicals
>Wordsworth was a passionate supporter of Revolution and never once cashed a government cheque
>Orwell fought in the Spanish Civil War against the express wishes of Britain's Foreign Office and highlights, in all his works, Western censorship
>Russell was an influential radical who opposed nuclear armament, unjust wars and found himself under government surveillance

You clown.

Does influence alone make Hobbes better? If he had his own way we'd all be living under absolutist monarchist rule right now (and writing about how wonderful R Dear Leader's balls taste rather than this nonsense).
