And I am Caesar

Renee forwardedthis quote to me
today:::::::unfortumnately quite jejune to our
times….





"Beware the leader who bangs the drums of war in order
to whip the citizenry into a patriotic fervor, for
patriotism is indeed a double-edged sword. It both
emboldens the blood, just as it narrows the mind. And
when the drums of war have reached a fever pitch and
the blood boils with hate and the mind has closed, the
leader will have no need in seizing the rights of the
citizenry. Rather, the citizenry, infused with fear
and blinded by patriotism, will offer up all of their
rights unto the leader and gladly so. How do I know?
For this is what I have done. And I am Caesar."

– Julius Caesar
