- The answer is obvious: when you're only in the throat, they
wouldn't! The eye can be a bit more convincing, but the heart
would probably not be strong enough against the eleven at the
height of Full Moon. Let's accept the fact once and for all:
authority comes from the belly. - Now, start noticing around you, at work for instance, those who
