Is there life on Mars - 11-03-04

"Why are you so afraid of the word �Fascism,� Doremus? Just a word � just a word! And might not be so bad, with all the lazy bums we got panhandling relief nowadays, and living on my income tax and yours � not so worse to have a real Strong Man, like Hitler or Mussolini � like Napoleon or Bismarck in the good old days � and have �em really RUN the country and make it efficient and prosperous again. �Nother words, have a doctor who won�t take any back-chat, but really boss the patient and make him get well whether he likes it or not!�

From It Can't Happen Here by Sinclair Lewis, 1935
