Gift Horse?*
Poison.Insidious, not always easy to pin-point, painful, becoming the asassin's weapon of choice once again as it used to be in the Middle Ages...
Just watched a show about poisons and their use relating to Lab X in Russia, mostly focusing on Viktor Yuschenko's poisoning in the 2004 Ukrainian elections, with some sprinklings of stories about Russian and former USSR politicians, journalists and business people who have been poisoned (including Stalin, in a speculative kind of way).
It's a worry. Kind of scary... All of the potentials of pain, death, disfigurement, all of that kind of thing, just because someone doesn't agree with another.
As one guy on the show said, God has given us life and we humans have spent time working out tens of thousands of ways to kill each other.
*Those who know German will know that "Gift" in German means "poison," thus explaining the pun...
