   People's Republic - Cool soundig name with as much meaning as Holy   
   Roman Empire.   
      
   Sar-chasm - The gap between the meaning of the words taken together and   
   what the meaning would be if the parts did not form a whole.  Or the big

   Probably have tragic death.  But at least there is symmetry".
