<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 2473630, member: 19463"]No one among the writers of history liked Nero. Senators, Christians, Flavians and Romans from the fire are all had more to gain from his departure. Not all that long ago a tornado destroyed the old downtown of a small town near where I lived. The mayor, like Nero, used the opportunity to rebuild a modern district outpricing the old merchants who were displaced. Some people found his happiness and statements about how the tornado did good for the city rather like history treats Nero for benefiting from the fire. If any of you are in government, take my advice and act sad when a natural disaster hits your town. Otherwise someone will accuse you of being Nero. 2 dupondii and two asses:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]520881[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]520882[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]520883[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]520884[/ATTACH] </p><p>The last two are not duplicates but both favorites of mine.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
