Quote of the day...
The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.H. L. Mencken

Oh those horrible 'lefty busybodies'. Switch off the talkback radio mate, too much of it is bad for the brain.
H L Mencken was writing in the USA in the 20's and 30's. "Lefty busybodies" were presumably busy around that time,with good reason. (The great depression etc.) What irks me today is that hard left wing thinking should take in the fact that socialism wherever it has been applied has been an economic and social disaster. Hasn't stopped the FW's though from attempting to ram it down our throats...
