"Nothing will end war unless the people themselves refuse to go to war." - Albert Einstein
"The politicians are put there to give you the idea that you have freedom of choice ... you don't.
You have no choice. You have owners. They own you. They own everything. They own all the important land. They own, and control the corporations. They've long since bought, and paid for the Senate, the Congress, the
state houses, the city halls, they got the judges in their back pockets and they own all the big media companies, so they control just about all of the news and information you get to hear. They got you by the balls.
They spend billions of dollars every year lobbying ... lobbying, to get what they want ... Well, we know what they want. They want more for themselves and less for everybody else, but I'll tell you what they don't want ...
They don't want a population of citizens capable of critical thinking. They don't want well informed, well educated people capable of critical thinking." George Carlin
"Men prefer to believe what they prefer to be true." -- Francis Bacon- (1561-1626) Philosopher, British Lord Chancellor
