I see that the ordsprog

Not by combining together, to protest injustice and cruelty, and making a common capital of sin, is this Union to be saved-but by repentance, justice and mercy; for, not surer is the eternal law by which the millstone sinks in the ocean, than that stronger law, by which injustice and cruelty shall bring on nations the wrath of Almighty God.
  Harriet Beecher Stowe

  John Stuart Mill

  Mary Baker Eddy

en I think that the scoring line flattered them a bit, but having said that, we've played about five very good games in a row and this was not one of them. I think it's definitely a step backwards.
