Linux Politics

Politics are almost as exciting as war, and quite as dangerous.  In war,
you can only be killed once.
                -- Winston Churchill

Politics is not the art of the possible.  It consists in choosing
between the disastrous and the unpalatable.
                -- John Kenneth Galbraith

Politics is the ability to foretell what is going to happen tomorrow, next
week, next month and next year.  And to have the ability afterwards to
explain why it didn't happen.
                -- Winston Churchill

Politics makes strange bedfellows, and journalism makes strange politics.
                -- Amy Gorin

Politics, as a practice, whatever its professions, has always been the
systematic organisation of hatreds.
                -- Henry Adams, "The Education of Henry Adams"

Politics, like religion, hold up the torches of matrydom to the
reformers of error.
                -- Thomas Jefferson

Populus vult decipi.
        [The people like to be deceived.]

Post proelium, praemium.
        [After the battle, the reward.]

Postmen never die, they just lose their zip.

Poverty begins at home.
