"Your
Liberty Is Our Interest"
|
|
"When the United States is not invading some sovereign nation - or
setting it on fire from the air, which is more fun for our simpleminded
pilots - we're usually busy "declaring war" on something here at
home.
Anything we don't like about ourselves, we declare war on it. We don't do
anything about it, we just declare war. "Declaring war" is our
only public metaphor for problem solving. We have a war on crime, a war on
poverty, a war on hate, a war on litter, a war on cancer, a war on
violence, and Ronald Reagan's ultimate joke, a war on drugs. More
accurately, the war on the Constitution."

Carlin?
