"The illusion of freedom will continue as long as it's profitable to continue the illusion. At the point where the illusion becomes too expensive to maintain, they will just take down the scenery, they will pull back the curtains, they will move the tables and chairs out of the way and you will see the brick wall at the back of the theater." ― Frank Zappa

More and more I’m coming around to Frank’s view.

Heh ... first time I've seen that quote. No the biggest Zappa fan, but I like his music, have for years, been to a few "Mother's Day" concerts, R.I.P.

It's fairly obvious, since Richard Nixon, that there is no such thing as a fair deal for any voter in the United States -- You're just not gonna get it. It's a joke -- the people that you vote for, they're the next best thing to criminals. But of course they have money for advertising campaigns that make them look a little bit better than they actually are.

Also attributed to Frank Zappa

I didn’t realize Frank Zappa had insight.
