Quote of the Day:
There’s an old Italian proverb, ‘When four people sit down to conspire three of them are fools and the fourth is a government agent’. I believe with modern surveillance techniques that’s more true than ever, and any overt action against the power structure is doomed to failure because of the techniques of control that have been developed. But the anarchistic impulses of art cannot be governed.
Robert Anton Wilson
