For some reason, I thought of Reverend Dexter from Babylon 5
"Every day, here and at home, we are warned about the enemy. But who is the enemy? Is it the alien? Well, we are all alien to one another. Is it the one who believes differently than we do? No, not at all, my friends. The enemy is fear. The enemy is ignorance. The enemy is the one who tells you that you must hate that which is different. Because, in the end, that hate will turn on you. And that same hate will destroy you.", followed by the hymn
It still hits me hard, one of the best juxtaposition scenes in a series. Chilling and beautiful.
Cats are wonderful. However they're also stubborn. If you want a cat to not bug you for something, never give in. One you do, you lose. They'll outlast you.
