Accidental Salvia

Random I know; perhaps the divinorum.

Two great quotes from a couple films the kids were watching this weekend.

Mr. Incredible laments, “They keep creating new ways to celebrate mediocrity…”

Government student loans for everyone! (Oh, and no free market alternative?)

And Amidala reflects, “So this is how liberty dies… with thunderous applause.”

Funny how people can imagine subterfuge and the surreptitious but fail to see the same mechanisms in the reality. Star Wars is hardly political science but it does offer an exhaustive depiction of the methodical use of deception, misdirection and the exploitation of fear to restructure government and society into a self-serving, oppressive utopia.

V anyone?
