I am sure that in Canada the people appreciate this principle, and the general intelligence which prevails over that country is such that I am sure there is no danger of a reactionary policy ever finding a response in the hearts of any considerable number of our people.

Terror is only justice: prompt, severe and inflexible; it is then an emanation of virtue; it is less a distinct principle than a natural consequence of the general principle of democracy, applied to the most pressing wants of the country.

Lets Pretend
(anderson / howe / wakeman / bruford / vangelis)
Let us be together, lets pretend that we
Are free, lets all be where the angels
Find us, we all have the key
Shall we seal the truth of life
Shall we light the heavens
Were so good at finding pleasure
As to what we are, and how we fit
Together
Let us sing the song it is
Let the sound of all belief
Lets all find that space in life
To follow in between
Its something that I feel
To pour upon my soul
Countenance of love
For one n all
To know theres so many ways
The force of nature prevails
I lay down, I lay down and I pray
Lets get our hearts together
And as before, and like before
Well do again
To know theres so many ways
The force of nature prevails
I lay down, I lay down and I pray
Lets get our hearts together
As before, and like before
Well do again
Lets get our hearts together
As before, and like before
Well do again
Lets get our hearts together
As before, and like before
Well do again
Do again...

The resistance of policy-makers to intelligence is not just founded on an ideological presupposition. They distrust intelligence sources and intelligence officials because they don't understand what the real problems are.

Philosophers should consider the fact that the greatest happiness principle can easily be made an excuse for a benevolent dictatorship. We should replace it by a more modest and more realistic principle - the principle that the fight against avoidable misery should be a recognized aim of public policy, while the increase of happiness should be left, in the main, to private initiative.

Not One To Encourage A Response, However...
People in hiding,
With beliefs their unspoken intentions...
'Should' be understood.
Are finding themselves,
Alone with their misguided perceptions.
And there is just too much evidence,
That immaturity accepted to nourish...
Flourishes the environment,
With the presence of too many latrent fools...
Doing the best they can to escape,
From the accountability of their actions.
And people blame the children,
For the boisterous disrespect and ignorance.
I am not one to encourage a response,
However...
Can the minds of today,
Address the depth of a shallowness expressed.
And accept this as a reflection of themselves...
As if to take pride in the reality of their social dysfunctions.
And pretend this existence is clear and free of normalcy.
I am not one to encourage a response,
However...
Hasn't it been time that those delusional find,
Truth in themselves...
As a gift and nothing one has to fear!
