"Nietzsche was stupid and abnormal." Leo Tolstoy

I know it isn't apropos to anything in particular but it's one of my favorite quotations. So sue me.

Every collectivist revolution rides in on a Trojan horse of "emergency". It was the tactic of Lenin, Hitler, and Mussolini. In the collectivist sweep over a dozen minor countries of Europe, it was the cry of men striving to get on horseback. And "emergency" became the justification of the subsequent steps. This technique of creating emergency is the greatest achievement that demagoguery attains. — Herbert Hoover.

Which is why we should not repeal the "posse comitatus", no matter what the "emergency" might be.

Blessings, Bobo

Wow! I think I've met more people who survived death camps than survived a newbie vanity post.

Can I have your autograph?
