I have been accused of making Atilla the Hun look like a flaming liberal. This is untrue. I knew Atilla and his main problem was he picked a lousy PR man. Besides, what kind of person would you be if all you had to drink was soured, fermented mare's milk, especially as a baby? Atilla was quite progressive, saw the approaching population problems (plagues, etc) and tried, unsuccessfully, to help Europe avoid them but the Europeans just wouldn't listen.
