“HOW TO KILL YOUR BEST FRIEND Method 4: Electrocution Hair dryer dropped in a bath tub? I suppose it's just about believable and I could probably engineer such a situation. But I Googled it (not on my own device, of course), and it seems that it's actually very unlikely to be fatal. Electricity is lazy; it seeks the path of least resistance. The current will almost certainly run to ground through the bathwater and the bath plug, rather than through the cardiac tissue, meaning that the only thing that gets successfully fried is the bath salts. How else can you engender a fatal electrocution? With difficulty, according to the Google search results. There are too many variables. AC or DC current. Wet or dry hands. The material of the shoes the person is wearing. Whether the current finds a way to breach the skin to reach the soft, vulnerable, unresistant tissues inside-and how much water and how much fat are in those tissues. The more I look at this, the more I realize how exceedingly difficult it is to kill a person-without immediately getting caught, I mean. Which is, ordinarily, a good thing, one supposes. Though not much help to me now.”

“As Harvard professor Elaine Scarry reminds us, "The prohibition on assassination in international law traces back to a forceful denunciation of the practice by Abraham Lincoln, who condemned the call for assassination as 'international outlawry' in 1863, an 'outrage' which 'civilized nations view with horror' and that merits the 'sternest retaliation'. We've come a long way since then.”

“Where does the story begin, and reality end? Or is it the other way around?. That is the scary part. The Seeds of Evil is a story that needs to be told. While this is a fictional story, the lines between what is a story and what is happening in our world today are so blurred, it will leave you questioning our food supply, our media, our society, our government, and our safety. A story that you will not be able to put down. Characters larger than life and a story that travels as fast as the imagination allows. Wow”

“You could argue that the killers of JFK learned from Shakespeare's Julius Caesar not to be such overt assassins. The symbolism of the killing was still there but the modus operandi hid the perpetrators. The ultimate coup d'états school their murderous heirs: shed the target's blueprint blood via a covert coup de grâce.”

“Fear is an assassin; if you let it in your life, it will kill your dreams.”

“The prevailing opinion among historians, ancient and modern alike, is that the senatorial assassins were intent upon restoring republican liberties by doing away with a despotic usurper. This is the justification offered by the assassins themselves. I present an alternative explanation: The Senate aristocrats killed Caesar because they perceived him to be a popular leader who threatened their privileged interests.”
