"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

"Why are all the political campaign sound-bites dominating the media trivializations and pandering? Because it works. From bread and circuses, to scapegoating the Jews as the source of all ills, to today’s headlines of “The Rich Are Different From You and Me—They Pay Fewer Taxes,” to Trayvon Martin as a “martyr,” to a supposed “War on Women”, divisiveness protects those in power and helps them garner more power."
