“The President in particular is very much a figurehead—he wields no real power whatsoever. He is apparently chosen by the government, but the qualities he is required to display are not those of leadership but those of finely judged outrage. For this reason the President is always a controversial choice, always an infuriating but fascinating character. His job is not to wield power but to draw attention away from it. … Very very few people realize that the President and the Government have virtually no power at all, and of these few people only six know whence ultimate political power is wielded.” - Douglas Adams (1952-2001), The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy

"Men, it has been well said, think in herds; it will be seen that they go mad in herds, while they only recover their senses slowly, one by one." ~Charles MacKay (1814–1889), Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds, 1841.
“America is at that awkward stage; it's too late to work within the system, but too early to shoot the bastards.” -Claire Wolfe
