Dulce et decorum est . . . .

I have not the least doubt that some there are who could complete that line with unblemished sincerity.

Not Grace Slick, I think it was, in her younger days, who sang with shocking candor - if it was that - "I'd rather have my country die for me."

(Yes, she actually wrote the song. Rejoice)

And thus she voiced the true sentiment of the unpretentious egoist.

What?

Die for others?

You must be mad.
