My e mail sig ALONE converted a red to a blue

[Omaha Steve]

My daughter told me her friend got the point of my sig file at the end of a letter Kris sent on to her. It is simple, but those that read it seem to get it.

Naturally, the common people don't want war, but they can always be brought to
the bidding of the leaders. Tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the
pacifists for lack of patriotism and endangering the country. It works the same
in every country.

1. It's the perfect quote for our time.

I use it a lot, as well as...

"The illusion of freedom in America will continue as long as it's profitable to continue the illusion.

Frank Zappa, 1977

4. Lewis Black says

something like this in his Black on Broadway special..something along the lines of "why didn't they make something up? I'm used to my government lying to me!" & etc.
So true. If you're gonna lie to me, make sure it's so good I'll never suspect or find out the truth. I mean, damn. I'm insulted you didn't put more effort into it. <slight irony alert>
