"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
On the secrets of the state
Submitted by Sharon Secor on Thu, 2010-12-09 05:38
“It is completely false and historically illiterate to argue, as some would have it, that it would be self-destructive for a state in which the people are sovereign to retain no secrets. Quite the opposite is true… The example of war, so often cited in support of state secrets, actually supports the contrary case even more strongly.”
