Something that makes me happy and is not Barack Obama's election: Phoenician DNA. (Though I file traceable ancient lineages under extremely cool multiculturalism, so I suppose a line between the two could be drawn.) Now I want to know who's inherited the Etruscans.

But you're close: "Cato judged Carthage should be destroyed."
