Pathetic

It's amazing how susceptible the American people are to Orwellian/Goebbels-like marketing. It's breathtaking to consider how close this country has come to a Hitler/Mussolini/Ceaucescu dictatorship.

Here is what Kurt Vonnegut said:

The only difference between [George W.] Bush and [Adolf] Hitler is that Hitler was elected.
