"Beware of the leader who bangs the the drums of war in order to whip the citizenry into 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 the their rights unto the leader, and gladly do so. How do I know? For that is what I have done. And I am Caesar." -- William Shakespeare -- Dave Carpenter

"Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." -- Arthur C. Clarke
