One thing that I don’t think gets enough attention in the King Solomon cut the baby in half story is that they used to have the king, the one sovereign ruler of the land, set aside time every week to handle tasks that, nowadays, would be performed by Maury Povich

Socrates: I see AC/DC, but is it not still a long way to the top even if one does not wish to rock and roll? It seems the length to the top is not then dependent on one’s desire to rock and roll.
