@tr: no worries. herbal sparring is fun, so long as one doesn’t look for fennel solutions.

@tr: Because that was the great liberal sarcastic joke of the time: “Mussolini may have done many brutal and tyrannical things; he may have destroyed human freedom in Italy; he may have murdered and tortured citizens whose only crime was to oppose Mussolini; but ‘one had to admit’ one thing about the Dictator: he ‘made the trains run on time.’” (Montagu and Darling; from http://www.snopes.com/history/govern/trains.htm)

Btw, there’s been an offline conversation with my uncle that you might further appreciate:
