If you don't want a man unhappy politically, don't give him two sides to a question to worry him; give him one. Better yet, give him none. Let him forget there is such a thing as war. If the Government is inefficient, top-heavy, and tax-mad, better it is all those than that people worry over it. Peace, Montag.

Interesting coincidence. Just goes to prove that there's nothing new about conmen telling lies and making false promises.
Sadly there's nothing new about people falling for the lies either.
Nothing new under the sun!
