Fatuous, Q.

"The Public" approved of the Nazi Party in Germany, too. And of the Joe McCarthy witch hunt. And many more unsavory & immoral things I could mention.

No one in this world, so far as I know — and I have researched the records for years, and employed agents to help me — has ever lost money by underestimating the intelligence of the great masses of the plain people.
