Arkan Posted August 18, 2004 Share Posted August 18, 2004 Edwards is coming to Nitro? Huh? Why would the potential VP come to this quiet, little, redneck, podunk, backwards, mountain state town? "Of course the people don't want war. But after all, it's the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it's always a simple matter to drag the people along whether it's a democracy, 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 pacifists for lack of patriotism, and exposing the country to greater danger." - Herman Goering at the Nuremberg trials "I have also been slowly coming to the realisation that knowledge and happiness are not necessarily coincident, and quite often mutually exclusive" - meta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'JN Posted August 18, 2004 Share Posted August 18, 2004 You guys have money now? I thought you were still trading beaver pelts... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkan Posted August 18, 2004 Author Share Posted August 18, 2004 We had no choice. The beaver pelt had lost so much monetary power to the dollar that we were forst to convert...that, and there are no more beavers. "Of course the people don't want war.
