    Three good quotes, one by a patriot, two by a fascist

    "The illusion of freedom will continue as long as it's profitable to continue the illusion. At the point where the illusion becomes too expensive to maintain, they will just take down the scenery, they will pull back the curtains, they will move the tables and chairs out of the way, and you will see the brick wall at the back of the theatre."
    ~ Frank Zappa, 1977

    ''If this were a dictatorship, it would be a
    heck of a lot easier -- so long as I'm the dictator.'' --George W. Bush

    "I'm the commander -- see, I don't need to explain -- I do not need to explain why I say things. That's the interesting thing about being the president. Maybe somebody needs to explain to me why they say something, but I don't feel like I owe anybody an explanation." George W Bush
