Let us continue our discourse on temptation from earlier in this week.

Who do you believe is responsible for the loss of personal limbs or memories during the trade: the post office, or those who go to make the trade. Certainly, it is the post office and whoever is in control that takes, and yet these things could not have been taken without the consent of those trading. That you did not know what would be taken is, in part, irrelevant. You knew the cost would be high.

So who is truly responsible? The post office, those trading, or both?

I find it harder to blame the predator for being what it is then blaming those who should know better then to trust it. And yet, I suppose that appealing to the desires of the weaker would, indeed, seem like quite a heartless tactic.

When the short road to power is presented, there are inevitably those who follow down it.

It is merely the way man is.

People always want an easy way out... [sighs] You'd really think they'd know better by now...

They rarely do.
