“We’ll be doing all humanity a service.” “May I ask who appointed you humanity’s savior?” “My conscience,” I said unhesitatingly. “And my common sense.” “An honest reply,” he said. “I like that in young men. You have the courage of your convictions, something you don’t often find in the younger generation.”
