...AND I AM CAESAR

Mon Aug 23, 2004, 3:30 PM

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 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 their rights unto the leader and gladly so. How do I know? For this is what I have done. AND I AM CAESAR

Just a Quote I Came across That I Thought I'd Share With Everyone!!!

It was in the artwork for an Ep by one of my favourite bands... The Living Things!!! I'm not sure if Caesar actually said it or not but that is kind of beyond the point... What, In My Mind at least, Matters Is The Degree to Which It Is True!!!
