You never know you are in a prison unless you try the door. - Joe Bageant A functioning police state needs no police. - William S Burroughs Nobody these days holds the written word in such high esteem as police states do - Italo Calvino Coming of age in a fascist police state will not be a barrel of fun for anybody, much less for people like me, who are not inclined to suffer Nazis gladly and feel only contempt for the cowardly flag-suckers who would gladly give up their outdated freedom to live for the mess of pottage they have been conned into believing will be freedom from fear. - Hunter S Thompson There was no doubt that there was a vast organization which was making fools of all the liberals in Hollywood and taking their money, that there was a poli...
