At night he sent off the sadly sober and moralizing chief of the Hudson's Bay Company, under a proper escort, to rejoin his people; his route branching off in a different direction.

To this it may be answered that he might have made another fortune, if he chose; and we ought to add that he was not exactly moralizing.

The first kind treats the events as a backdrop in order to tell a moralizing story, ultimately cheapening not just the tragedy but the power of the stories rooted in this history.

Therefore, before we engage ourselves in deep moralizing, with surge of distress for the events in Europe and beyond, we better ask ourselves for the motives which caused the "demo-Christians" from DPMNE and the "honorable believers" from BDI to easy forget about our domestic black spots: the missing persons from 2001, concludes Zekoli.
