random quotes ... to amuse, inspire, enrage:
  Let us restate our definition of fascism. It is, but briefly, a system of social organization in which the political state is a dictatorship supported by a political elite and in which the economic society is an autarchial capitalism, enclosed and planned, in which the government assumes responsibility for creating adequate purchasing power through the instrumentality of national debt and in which militarism is adopted as a great economic project for creating work as well as a great romantic project in the service of the imperial state.

The cuss-o-meter says only 21.5%. That is not the high standard I set for myself in conversation as a youth. Also, the quiz says that “This is 139% MORE than other websites who took this test.” What does that mean? More than the average, I presume?

I have added a “rel=”nofollow”" to my link so as to not assist any google-bumpage, and taken the liberty of making the text small per my own site style, and adding this note. But in the interests of credit & freedom, I have left the link active so that you, Gentle Reader, may feel free to click-through.)
