Until the good cops start policing the bad ones, we can’t know which we’re dealing with and so must begin every interaction with self preservation in mind, as if it will be with the bad one.

Genghis Khan would like a word. So would Pol Pot, Mao Zedong, and Hirohito. Those are just the ones I can name off the top of my head.
Go Jays! F the Yankees!
