Life is just the same damn thing over and over


Does this sound familiar to anyone?

"Beware the leader who bangs the drums of war in order to whip the citizenry into a patriotic fever, for patriotism is indeed a double-edged sword. It both emboldens the blood, just as it narrows the mind. And when the drums of war have reached a fever pitch and the blood boils with hate and the mind has closed, the leader will have no need in seizing the rights of the citizenry. Rather, the citizenry, infused with fear and blinded by patriotism, will offer up all their rights unto the leader and gladly so. How do I Know? For this is what I have done, and I am Caesar. Julius Caesar."

Who said Shakespeare wasn't worth reading?

Prepare yourselves for a flurry of postings. I've been collecting links for a while now, and I feel a spot of verbal dysentery coming on, ill advised though it may be.
