    War dictates the lives and interests of men around the world and has throughout history. When they are not fighting it, they are simulating it through athletic pursuits or aggressive politics. It drives technological progress and creates at least as much as it destroys. It is the most fascinating thing in the world and includes all passions in concentrated form. In a world where the mere existence of right and wrong is questioned, what is preferable may simply be what is most interesting. War is most interesting, so I leave you to your own conclusions.

    "That rifle hanging on the wall of the working-class flat or labourer's cottage is the symbol of democracy. It is our job to see that it stays there."
    -Eric "George Orwell" Blair

    "If the policy of the government, upon vital questions affecting the whole people, is to be irrevocably fixed by decisions of the Supreme Court...the people will have ceased to be their own rulers, having to that extent practically resigned the government into the hands of that eminent tribunal."
    (Lincoln's First Inaugural Address, 1861).
