    He who thinks a great deal is not suited to be a party man: he thinks his way through the party and out the other side too soon.

  3. C & Emory,
    Nietzche,, my favourite philosopher. It is he who inspired "God is dead, I killed him yesterday." The God men created out of fiction to suit their whims.. and rulers have created to suit, appease, or appropriate the minds of men.

    As for you Emory, we have more in common that we think. It so happens that I happened to work on a Novel by Nicholas Sparks - True Believer - never mind the novel, it's not of any literary value, but out of interest, I went to check what Pamilco Sount and Cape Hattera, first over Encyclopedia, then over Google, and I'm Charmed.. That is certainly on my destination list one day!! As for rulers do not think, an Arabic saying goes: They asked Pharoah who made you Pharoah, he answered, well,, no one stopped me!!

    Foolish People ruled by Foolish or Lunatic Rulers.. The flipside of Democracy!!

    Happy New Year.

    interesting topic.. i think the real flipside is how do we stop this from happening.. rather than merely discuss?
