QUOTE of the Day
"Beware the leader who bangs the drums of war in order to whip the citizenery in to a patriotic fervor, for patriotism is indeed a double edged sword. It 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 is closed, the leader will have no need in seizing the rights of the citizenery. Rather, the citizenery, 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 I have done. And I am Caesar"
Julius Caesar
