Rather lengthy review of OotP due tonight. I think I've finally digested it all, however, my mother has stolen my copy and will probably be done with it tonight. And I need my notes. ::pout::

"The worst government is the most moral. One composed of cynics is often very tolerant and humane. But when fanatics are on top there is no limit to oppression."
--H. L. Mencken

"Every decent man is ashamed of the government he lives under."
-- H.L. Mencken

"The most dangerous man, to any government, is the man who is able to think things out for himself, without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost inevitably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane and intolerable, and so, if he is romantic, he tries to change it. And even if he is not romantic personally he is very apt to spread discontent among those who are."
--H.L. Mencken

I think I like this man.

I *know* I like this man, and I've only heard these quotes.
