"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

Keep in mind that Romans 13, which was, in my opinion, intentionally mistranslated, was supposedly written by the same man who said, "All things lawful are mine, but all things are not expedient. All things lawful are mine, and I will not be controlled/governed/ruled by any"; and "You are bought with a price; be not you the servants of men"; and "... having stripped the rulers and the authorities, he [JESUS (sic)] made a show of them in public, triumphing over them in it."
