The country that gave us Leonidas chocolates, Jacques Brel, Herge and the films 'Ultranova', 'Man Bites Dog' & 'Aaltra' is having a few little problems with its government, in that it doesn't really have one. I doubt that it will break up and merge into the Netherlands, Germany & France - why would they want the burden?

That got me to thinking about bad ol' King Leopold II and his Congo misadventure. That thought in turn took me to Mark Twain's 'King Leopold's Soliloquy'.
