"We are fast approaching the stage of the ultimate inversion: the stage where the government is free to do anything it pleases, while the citizens may act only by permission; which is the stage of the darkest periods of human history, the stage of rule by brute force." -Ayn Rand-

"A velvet glove tyranny doesn't rely on weapons or bombs. A willfully ignorant electorate obsessed with the irrelevant is all a tyranny needs to thrive." -Me-
