Quote:Okay, now I'm just wondering why none of us have thought of this up until now.Too obvious, maybe?
(Much like (a) moving a magnet through a coil of wire generates electricity, (b) a shock absorber is in part a piece of metal that moves through a coil spring, and (c) cars have batteries in them, but it took a century for somebody to think of putting a magnet in a shock absorber so it can recharge the car's battery.)

them. Adversaries remain citizens of the same state, common subjects of
the same sovereign, servants of the same law."
