"When liberty is taken away by force it can be restored by force. When it is relinquished voluntarily by default it can never be recovered."<br><br><br>"No people ever recognize their dictator in advance. He never stands for election on the platform of dictatorship. He always represents himself as the instrument [of] the Incorporated National Will. ... When our dictator turns up you can depend on it that he will be one of the boys, and he will stand for everything traditionally American. And nobody will ever say "Heil" to him, nor will they call him "Führer" or "Duce." But they will greet him with one great big, universal, democratic, sheeplike bleat of "O.K., Chief! Fix it like you wanna, Chief! Oh Kaaaay!" "(1935) <br><br><br>Dorothy Thompson, also nicknamed "The American Cassandra" <p></p><i></i>

I think the subject which will be of most importance politically is Mass Psychology... Its importance has been enormously increased by the growth of modern methods of propaganda. Although this science will be diligently studied, it will be rigidly confined to the governing class. The populace will not be allowed to know how its convictions are generated.<br><br>--Bertrand Russel <p>___________________________________________<br>"BUSHCO aren't incompetent...they are COMPLICIT." -Me<br><br>"Speaking the Truth in times of universal deceit is a revolutionary act" -George Orwell<br><br>"When I despair, I remember that all through history the ways of truth and love have always won.

<!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em><!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>A tyrant must put on the appearance of uncommon devotion to religion. Subjects are less apprehensive of illegal treatment from a ruler whom they consider god-fearing and pious. On the other hand, they do less easily move against him, believing that he has the gods on his side.</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END--></em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--> <br><br>- Aristotle<br> <p></p><i></i>

Of course

Postby Rambuncle » Tue Sep 12, 2006 12:02 am

It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.<br><br> -- (Terry Pratchett, Jingo) <p></p><i></i>
