"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." ~ H.L. Mencken

For us to wing and wang around with each other over egregious actions perpetrated by psychopaths grouped into what they want us to call "government" is to bestow legitimacy to their ignorance. Sam
