gadzooks, a great calamity! is visited like fire from heaven laying low the pretense of well-meaning authority burning away the veil of smiles and excuses. in the arms of absolution grace becomes permission blind fury casts cold justice in with the lots of strong men laid low and visited upon the lazy and the lawless lawmen just doing their jobs as it were history painted each broadstroke the innocent, the unscrupulous, and the desperate, who only wanted left alone. the greatest wounds of all oft simple injustice it cuts to the bone in hell they stoke the fires for claims of efficiency the common reason given "the public good."
