Sorry to tag on , but can you waitlist in more than tutorial spot ? Or does it have to be a different section of the course ? <| sep |> My mother said violence never solves anything . So ? Mr . Dubois looked at her bleakly . I ' m sure the city fathers of Carthage would be glad to know that . They had tangled beforesince you couldn ' t flunk the course , it wasn ' t necessary to keep Mr . Dubois buttered up . She said shrilly , You ' re making fun of me ! Everybody knows that Carthage was destroyed ! You seem unaware of it , he said grimly . Since you do know it , wouldn ' t you say that violence settled their destinies rather thoroughly ? However , I was not making fun of you personally I was heaping scorn on an inexcusably silly idea a practice I shall always follow . Anyone who clings to the historically untrue and thoroughly immoral doctrine that violence never settles anything I would advise to conjure up the ghosts of Napoleon Bonaparte and the Duke of Wellington and let them debate it . The ghost of Hitler could referee and the jury might well be the Dodo , the Great Auk , and the Passenger Pigeon . Violence , naked force , has settled more issues in history than has any other factor , and the contrary opinion is wishful thinking at its worst . Breeds that forget this basic truth have always paid for it with their lives and their freedoms .
