"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
Cry for Argentina
"At the beginning of the 20th century, Argentina was one of the wealthiest countries in the world. It since has endured decades of bad government, including the rudderless reactionary populist appeal of Peronism (which still dominates the county's politics today), the military junta in the 1970s and '80s, and consistently bad economic policy that culminated in the country's financial collapse in 2001."
