They asked Conan once, what is best in life? Ever the Barbarian at heart, he replied, "To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of their women."
And you know, it's pretty hard to argue with that, really.
But since we don't really do the crushing and driving of enemies in modern society with the same elan as did the Cimmerian warlord, I am taking it as an article of faith that there is a special circle of hell reserved for the scammers of the world. You know, the ones who call little old ladies and con them into shipping a box of small-unmarked bills, or the people who blow up your text messages wanting to buy homes you haven't lived in for four or five years?
