All I am saying is that power corrupts, even in the guise of a good cause and that those who do not study history will repeat it.

Other lessons not learned? Tell the big lie until it is believed, and target an enemy and facilitate mass fear of it.

The ends does not justify the means. A just result, while eroding the principles of our Free society, are far worse than the threat. Deal with the threat under the rule of law or relegate ourselves to the history dump of fallen free peoples.

Image that! A Government that kills their own children....
