The purpose of propaganda is not to provide interesting distraction for blasé young gentlemen, but to convince... the masses.

Agatha Christie

Abraham Lincoln

We must remember that the greatest price of this conflict ist not paid by us. It is paid by the Israeli girl in Sderot who closes her eyes in fear that a rocker will take her life in the night.

It's a bull's job and they go to school to learn how, and their courses are all variations on a theme: Slipping It to the Psychos for Fun and Profit, Mostly Profit.

And they have a very high suicide rate.
