I won't steal Guido's thunder, but I will say that the meeting went well
in all important respects (aside from being boring for long periods :-)).
I think all the surprises will be pleasant ones.

Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did, and it never will.
Find out just what people will submit to, and you have found out the exact
amount of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them; and these will
continue until they are resisted with either words or blows, or with both.
The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they
oppress.
