"Our government has kept us in a perpetual state of fear � kept us in a continuous stampede of patriotic fervor � with the cry of grave national emergency. Always there has been some terrible evil at home or some monstrous foreign power that was going to gobble us up if we did not blindly rally behind it."	Douglas MacArthur

"We have no government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion.

It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other."	John Adams
