6. My New Ploy

When talking to right wingers is to ask how many people they know, personally, killed by a terrorist? Then I ask how many people do they know without a job or livng with cancer? You certainly agree with my definition of terror. It is amazing how stupid people are and don't look at the consequences vs. the risk.

8. 'In my day,' I replied

'it was considered that the proper functions of government, strictly speaking, were limited to keeping the peace and defending the people against the public enemy, that is, to military and police powers.'

'And, in heaven's name, who are the public enemies?' exclaimed Dr. Leete. 'Are they France, England, Germany, or hunger, cold, and nakedness? In your day, governments were accustomed, on the slightest international misunderstanding, to seize upon the bodies of citizens and deliver them over by hundreds of thousands to death and mutilation, wasting their treasures all the while like water; and all this oftenest for no imaginable profit to the victims. We have no wars now, and our governments no war powers, but in order to protect every citizen against hunger, cold, and nakedness, and provide for all his physical and mental needs, the function is assumed of directing his industry for a term of years.'" "Looking Backward" p. 44
