[ kaiser's bad for talking about something (hedgehogs) that sae might actually have a thought on. ]

Um... should I read some philosophy to you directly, then? There's something I read not that long ago... [ then there's the sounds of kaiser moving about books and flipping through pages before he settles back down in bed, opening up to a page he's bookmarked— ] "The cheapest sort of pride is national pride; for if a man is proud of his own nation, it argues that he has no qualities of his own of which he can be proud; otherwise he would not have recourse to those which he shares with so many millions of his fellowmen..."

[ he knows what sae wants to hear. ]
