"Beware the leader who bangs the drums of war in order to
whip the citizenry into a patriotic fervor, for patriotism
is indeed a double-edged sword.It both emboldens the blood,
just 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 by partiotism,
will offer up all of their rights unto the leader and
gladly so.How do I know? For this is what I have done.
And I am Caesar."--Julius Caesar.
