No, I’m not going to stop telling you about my new blog on writing
Unhappy events abroad have retaught us two simple truths about the liberty of a democratic people. The first truth is that the liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerate the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than their democratic State itself. That, in its essence, is fascism — ownership of government by an individual, by a group or by any other controlling private power.
The second truth is that the liberty of a democracy is not safe if its business system does not provide employment and produce and distribute goods in such a way as to sustain an acceptable standard of living. Both lessons hit home. Among us today a concentration of private power without equal in history is growing.
Simple Truths message to Congress (April 29, 1938).
By believing passionately in something that still does not exist, we create it. The nonexistent is whatever we have not sufficiently desired.

God, I love this man. I’ve been to his show twice and not only is he hilarious, but one of the smartest people I’ve come across. Always spot on.
Brilliant.
