"The smart way to keep people passive and obedient is to strictly limit the spectrum of acceptable opinion, but allow very lively debate within that

Evil men, ruthlessly seeking your destruction through force, will ever be turned back by the greater force of good men, through even greater
destruction, more ruthlessly applied. Michael C. Riggs

improve the man, but it would deteriorate the cat. - Mark Twain
