This looks like a great link, thanks. But should it go in the Oxi post comments? People are still there continuing to post links to interesting articles.

That seems a very odd thing for a Greek to think. It was Thucydides who said "the strong do what they can and the weak suffer what they must" some 2,400 years ago.
