Bill Gates is on the bottom left of the picture. Pretty crazy, huh?
I was reading in Slashdot about how more than 50% of Americans think that the 1st amendment goes too far. Does anyone else here think that more than 50% of Americans are idiots? Maybe more like 90%. How could anyone ever think the 1st amendment goes too far? In response to the article I read a really good quote:
Beware the leader who bangs the drums of war in order to whip the citizenry into a patriotic fervor, for patriotism is indeed a double-edged sword. It both 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 has closed, the leader will have no need in seizing the rights of the citizenry. Rather, the citizenry, infused with fear and blinded by patriotism, will offer up all of their rights unto the leader and gladly so. How do I know? For this is what I have done. And I am Caesar. ? Julius Caesar
Actually, I just found out that this quote is a fake, but it’s still a good one, nonetheless. That’s it for now.
