Flimsy Sanity: Pogo was right

Flimsy Sanity

In individuals, insanity is rare; but in groups, parties, nations and epochs, it is the rule. - Friedrich Nietzsche

Pogo was right


Bush said the terrorists attacked us because they hate our freedom. Lehrer News Hour yesterday said that under the USA Patriot Act, the FBI sends about 30,000 national security letters a year that require institutions to submit private information and user records without alerting customers. Add to that our corporate media propaganda, corrupt elections, and the firing and demotion of government employees who do not follow party lines and you have fascism not freedom. Beware of the secret police, state sponsored propaganda, and blacklisting. The most dangerous enemy is us.

    Brava, Flimsy! Walt Kelly was one of my greatest heroes, and Pogo one of our most insightful philosophers! And we have lots of reason these days to recognize how prescient they both were!
