"Principiis obsta; Finem respice." Olaf Rotkohl thinks that the pursuit of power over others is in itself a corruption, and those who seek such power are fundamentally corrupt. This space is dedicated as part of the constant challenge to those who seek to wield authority over the rest of us, keeping them on notice that they exert power only as it is granted to them by the people.

What Would Be a Fitting End to Shark Week
Mrs. Olaf, since being traumatized at age seven by the movie Jaws, makes a point every year of keep the channel set to the Discovery Channel during Shark Week. Her older sister, apparently even more damaged by that event, records the week in its entirety for viewing at leisure.
And I got to tell you--it's a hoot. Amazing what fools will do for sciencetainment. Here--rub this gore all over you, and swim over to those circling tiger sharks. We'll prove once and for all that it's a myth about them being man eaters.
Oooooh. That was not pretty. But it was good TV!
Anyway, this is my tribute to Shark Week. Thanks Discovery, for a stellar viewing experience.
