Great quote site

A site of great quotes. Perhaps this is one of the better insights. But many people are not turned off by these things.

I have always disliked the fake wars created by journalists and politicians. The war on drugs, the war on poverty, the war on homelessness. A sure way to never see completion of something is to declare war on a simple concept. Wars can be fought against concrete groups or organizations. You can never wipe out an ism entirely. There certainly is still communism, facsism, and slavery in the world today, though some people quote the "war has never solved anything except..." these things. In actuality, specific instances of these have been defeated, but organically, new versions or renditions of these movements can surface anywhere else, via the efforts of different founders.
