"Power, money, persuasion, supplication, persecution -- these can lift at a colossal humbug -- push it a little -- weaken it a little over the course of a century; but only laughter can blow it to rags and atoms at a blast.
Against the assault of laughter nothing can stand." -Mark Twain

"The political and commercial morals of the United States are not merely food for laughter, they are an entire banquet." |

Notes/Comment From Sam: |

 | The humane treatment of prisoners of war is one of this country's oldest and most hallowed principles. "Revolutionary War leaders," writes Robert F. Kennedy Jr., "including Washington and the Continental Congress, considered the decent treatment of enemy combatants to be one of the principal strategic preoccupations of the American Revolution." Read his whole piece, "America's Anti-Torture Tradition," here. | |||
