The first truth is that the liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerate the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than their democratic state itself. That, in its essence, is fascism - ownership of government by an individual, by a group, or by any other controlling private power.
- Franklin D. Roosevelt

he who tries to make a point
misses the point
every time

Sad thing to wake up to. Even though the last performances of his I saw were on the bitter and cynical side, he was a master of words and a very funny man.

I watched several of his HBO specials last night that were played in memory. It was fun to see him mature and watch that list of his grow over the years.

Bart and Corwin should just admit that when it gets down to it, I will have the final say.
