    Shakespeare have said it, now the US live it out

    This is what Shakespeare once said/wrote... Im not bashing the US, just pointing back in historey to remind somone

    Beware the leader who bangs the drums of war in order to whip the citizenry into a patriotic fervor, for patriotism is indeed a double-edged sword. It both emboldens the blood, just as it narrows the mind.... And when the drums of war have reached a fever pitch and the blood boils with hate and the mind has closed, the leader will have no need in seizing the rights of the citizenry. Rather, the citizenry, infused with fear and blinded with patriotism, will offer up all of their rights unto the leader, and gladly so. How do I know? For this is what I have done. And I am Caesar.

              Actually that isn't Shakespeare. It's a fake written by some unknown person and posted online... It was picked up by the media because Senator Clinton had it in one of her speeches and somebody noticed it wasn't a real quote.

              But still, your point is right on.
              Pffffffftttttttth. I'm done.

                      Yeah, the guys are correct...but it's nice to see people believe what they read on the internet so much.
