Jabotinsky
"Our habit of constantly and zealously answering to any rabble has already done us a lot of harm and will do much more. ... We do not have to apologize for anything. We are a people as all other peoples; we do not have any intentions to be better than the rest. As one of the first conditions for equality we demand the right to have our own villains, exactly as other people have them. ... We do not have to account to anybody, we are not to sit for anybody's examination and nobody is old enough to call on us to answer. We came before them and will leave after them. We are what we are, we are good for ourselves, we will not change, nor do we want to." Ze'ev Jabotinsky, Instead of Excessive Apology, 1911.

Hey, your blog works again. What did you do to fix it?
Congrats to you and to me, because, now, I can read it again.
I took the chicken bones with the feathers glued on them and did the hoochy-choochy dance around the fire during the full moon while my mates here clened out redundant html code from the blog. They'll thank me for it later.
