Great Quote:

Can anything be more ridiculous than that a man has a right to kill me because he lives on the other side of the water, and because his ruler has quarrel with mine, although I have none with him?
~Blaise Pascal

I love this quote. Good stuff.

Reminds me a GB Shaw quote about how ethnocenticism shapes our understanding of ourselves and others:

Patriotism is your conviction that this country is superior to all other countries because you were born in it.
