- Actually, if my memory does not fail me, John die of natural
- causes. People have died for many ideas. This does not make
- thos ideas just, right, or correct, only capable of creating
- such strong devotion in their followers that they will die for
- them. People have died to give power to lies before too.
- People are strange that way.
