Three days: Hate corrodes
Like an unchecked cancer, hate corrodes the personality and eats away its vital unity. Hate destroys a man's sense of values and his objectivity. It causes him to describe the beautiful as ugly and the ugly as beautiful, and to confuse the true with the false and the false with the true


MLK, 1963

1. McCain's face is a perfect metaphor. He would have been a Chaucer character.

2. Good literary reference
Haven't looked at Chaucer since high school, maybe when this is finished I'll refresh myself.

Thanks, I like imagery.
