"You think me cruel."No. Magiano hesitates for a long moment. "Maybe a little."I'm not branding them because I am cruel, I say calmly. "I'm doing it as a reminder of what they've done to us.

His hand hovers near his side, where his childhood wound continues to plague him. "But branding the unmarked with your crest will not make them any more loyal to you."It makes them fear me."Fear works best with some love, Magiano says. "Show them that you can be terrifying, yet generous. The gold bands in his braids clink. "Let the people love you a little, mi Adelinetta."

"And when I speak, I don't speak as a Democrat. Or a Republican. Nor an American. I speak as a victim of America's so-called democracy. You and I have never seen democracy - all we've seen is hypocrisy. When we open our eyes today and look around America, we see America not through the eyes of someone who has enjoyed the fruits of Americanism. We see America through the eyes of someone who has been the victim of Americanism. We don't see any American dream. We've experienced only the American nightmare."

But if you pour too much cream in it, you won't even know you ever had coffee. It used to be hot, it becomes cool. It used to be strong, it becomes weak. It used to wake you up, now it puts you to sleep."
