Never start a land war in Asia. Classic mistake.
Princess Bride, one of my all time favorites.
And Tatyana, CTers have one more thing, the only real conspiracy is the one of their own mind. Their own mind conspires against them. Subverting reality into a fantasy in which they alone see the dragon that must be slain, yet everybody else ( and the sane part of them) are nothing more than ignorant peasants. It shows that at the core, they truly want to more important than what they are, and want others to view them as such.
People who have this view, tend to be pissed off on the fact that they are not as intelligent as others, or attractive, etc. The saying, "comparison is a sign of mediocrity", comes to mind.
