Pillars of Truth-2

divide and conquer.
they've worked this old adage well.
white against black, both against hispanic,
jew against christian, christian against muslim,
straight against gay, republican against democrat...
they play it to the hilt...

destroy the unions, limit free speech,
ban books that make you think...
ignorance is bliss!

just dont let the common people unite,
dont let them think, or question...
keep them busy struggling to survive...
hope is dangerous!

middle east problems, raise the gas prices...
wait a little while, food prices follow.
give 'em fox news, keep 'em hooked on xanax,
give them tiger, charlie sheen, and lindsay lohan.

divide and conquer!
