    I'm surprised to see that the Motely Fool is still around. I would have guess they up and died around the same time the stock market did. Every time I go into a bookstore, it seems like I see their investment guide in the discount bin.

    Taking a leaf out of Nazi propagandist's books "Naturally the common people don't want war: neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country."
