How’s your Latin?
I’ve decided to add a little quiz (probably about once a week). First one: translate these latin phrases that relate to the drug war. First one to leave correct translations in the comments wins… the satisfaction of being the first one. I’ll try to come up with better prizes later.
Corruptisima republica plurimae leges
– Tacitus, Anals III 27
Abusus non tollit usum
– Latin Proverb
Update: Desert Cat wins the prize!
