Directory"Beware of the leader who bangs the drums of war in order to whip the citizenry into 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, infused with fear and blinded by patriotism,
will offer up all of their rights unto the leader and gladly so.
How will I know? For this I have done. And I am Julius Caesar."-Julius Caesar, Rome 100-44 B.C.*
*FootNote: Some sources attribute the following quotation to William Shakespeare. Others claim that Julius Ceasar himself is the source. Though no one seems to be able to identify from what actual records of either individual it is taken from, nevertheless, it would be a far, far better thing indeed if our current leaders were educated well enough to grasp even a little of the significance of its historically obvious message.
