   Jaws is like an enemy of the people - with a big fish. An Enemy of the   
   People is not the last word on a prophet not being welcome in his home   
   town - though it seemed to give a career to a wanker like Arthur Miller.   
   Hamlet is the last word on a lot of things but there are people in the world   
   who would not wait five minutes to take mighty vengeance. In other words   
   when I said your aphorism wasn't correct you used Ibsen's play to make it   
   correct, but it doesn't.
