Beware The Ides of March….

Friends, Romans, Countrymen, lend me your ears…

Caesar: Who is it in the press that calls on me? I hear a tongue shriller than all the music Cry “Caesar!” Speak, Caesar is turn’d to hear.
Soothsayer: Beware the ides of March.
Caesar: What man is that?
Brutus: A soothsayer bids you beware the ides of March.
Julius Caesar Act 1, scene 2, 15–19

…hope your day goes better than this guy’s did, back in 44 B.C.:

  1. The Political Hat says:

    Can’t think of the “Ides of March” without thinking of the Iron Maiden song.

    But Caesar’s assassination should be a warning to those who wish to restore liberty: Liberty does not spontaneously arise by taking out its enemies; the people and the culture must be conducive towards it if one wants to avoid going from bad to worse.
