black sheep

it's obvious that we are now a divided nation:

1. "I do what I'm told" (sheep)
2. "I question authority" (black sheep)

these two schools of thought

(yes, sheep, I used the word "schools"... remember that place? that one large building that the state made you attend until you turned 18? oh yeah, and there's no "k" in the word "schools"... the "c" and the "h" are silent. don't fret, dipshit, your president didn't get that one right in the spelling bee either... now go breed)

have always existed, but the division couldn't be any greater.

now I'm going to drop some quotes on your ass.

I'll assume that the black sheep will catch on, and the sheep are still trying to figure out if I insulted them with that reference to correctly spelling the word "schools"

(don't worry fucknut, some government lawyer is currently working on the copy for the draft notice you'll be receiving in nine months... knowing how to spell the word "schools" won't matter when you're dodging flaming shrapnel (with no body armor) from a detonated car loaded with C-4 explosives in downtown Baghdad.)

once again, you can stroke yourself off for re-electing Bush.

"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 with 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."

"Naturally, the common people do not want war; neither in Russia, nor England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along. Whether it is a democracy or a fascist dictatorship, voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked. And denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in every country."

- Hermann Wilhelm Goring (Nazi) at the Nuremberg trials
