Then they came for the Socialists and the Trade Unionists but I was not one of them, so I did not speak out. Then they came for the Jews but I was not Jewish so I did not speak out. And when they came for me, there was no one left to speak out for me.

I'm speaking out before they come for me.

but we can assist their elected leaders in giving them small doses of Socialism,
until they awaken one day to find that they have Communism." Nikita Khrushchev

From that moment on, the majority (who vote) will vote for those candidates promising the greatest benefits from the public purse, with the result that a democracy will always collapse from loose fiscal policies, always followed by a dictatorship."

Your extended absence has been noted and will be reflected on your next report of fitness. For your [penance forma a suitable committee with the 2IC, the Baron etc. etc., and such others as you deem unnecessary to work out this chain of command sso that I am not bothered with the whinging of legionnaires who should instead use the chain of command your committee will establish. The committee way is the best way! That old chestnut of Unity of command--pish posh and flummery.
