"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." ~ H.L. Mencken

"If violent offenders are psychopathic, they are able to assault, rape, and murder without concern for legal, moral, or social consequences. This allows them to do what they want, whenever they want. Ironically, these same traits exist in men and women who are drawn to high-profile and powerful positions in society including political officeholders.

The Barrett piece was genius of a phrophet. Having read this I now even grow more fearful of the "ponerologist" resting on the seat of power of the U.S. Brillian piece. It is as close to the truth that one could possibly get.
