After the stabbing of Julius Caesar, it was time for healing in Rome. (Satire by Alexandra Petri, whom I've described before as a national treasure.)
Quote:I am frankly appalled when I think of all the things that have been said on both sides, like, “Death to Caesar!” and “Ouch!” Everyone bears a share of the blame, although mostly Caesar.
...how are the people of Rome served by this fixation on consequences? If we’re going to be applying consequences, I think the real villains here are the people who have used their bodies to steal other people’s daggers! Not naming names, obviously.
