1. He got about 10 times the amount of applause our town idiot got.

3. I don't care where the applause meter went to. It is this arrogant

myopic childish attitude of the administration that is getting good people killed the world over. The idea that somehow their little cult has the monopoly on truth and righteousness. That they alone are somehow invested with some sort of divine knowledge that allows them to dispense "grace" to those deemed worthy. The world is prepared to slap us back with a vengance. And Stupid will stand up there grinning like a deaths head when it happens. We will be here going through the pain and wringing our hand because not had enough of us had courage to do the simplist thing to stop the bastartd--just to go freaking vote.

2. But, they don't exist.

Thst is at the core of the Ideal Nation-State. Other leaders, cultures don't "really" exist.

4. Winston: "Does Big Brother exist?"

O'Brien: "Of course he exists. The Party says he exists, so he exists."

Winston: "But does he exist in the same way that I exist?"

O'Brien: "You do not exist."
