THE VOICE OF REASON Solon, (born c. 630 BCE—died c. 560 BCE), Athenian statesman, known as one of the Seven Wise Men of Greece (the others were Chilon of Sparta, Thales of Miletus, Bias of Priene, Cleobulus of Lindos, Pittacus of Mytilene, and Periander of Corinth). Solon ended exclusive aristocratic control of the government, substituted a system of control by the wealthy, and introduced a new and more humane law code. He was also a noted poet.

The very real physical dangers of being lobby fodder
Even when you think you are playing safe by doing exactly what you are told by your leader and your whip, you are not safe.

There were 395 MPs who voted for the war. There must be one near you now even as you read this, conducting a surgery and fearing for his or her life.
I imagine that a public statement of remorse and also a declaration of support for Peter Bone's House of Commons Disquaification Bill whose Second Reading will be on 10 December 2010 would assist in getting them off the rather long list of those who would wish to stab them in their surgeries.
