Little changes in human character over the millenia. Amuse yourself with
these lines from William Shakespeare which strike an amazingly relevant
chord in the world we live in at the moment...!
======


"Beware the leader who bangs the drums of war
in order to whip the citizenry into a patriotic fervour,
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 of their rights unto the leader, and gladly so.

How do I know?

For this is what I have done.

And I am Caesar."
