Mencken The more we do to you, the less you seem to believe we are doing it.~ Dr. Joseph Mengele The government of the world was [Cecil] Rhodes' simple desire.~ Sarah Gertrude Millin Where once a tyrant had to wish that his subjects had but one common neck that he might strangle them all at once, all he has to do now is to 'educate the people' so that they will have but one common mind to delude.~ Richard Mitchell The Government has been compelled to levy taxes which unavoidably hit large sections of the population.
