The famous quote "The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, but in ourselves, that we are underlings" is from William Shakespeare's play, Julius Caesar. It's spoken by the character Cassius to Brutus. This line is often used to illustrate the idea that destiny is not predetermined by fate 1 of 2

Serious question for all the Chief’s of Police out there: what are your instructions to your officers about this? When you encounter masked men with no visible identification, detaining people on the streets of your town, what do you do? Do you stop them and ask for identification? 1 of 2
