"By the way, do you think Stalin and Mao only started telling lies and spewing disinformation when they started to rule?   Don't forget, they started as anti-government radicals in their time."

Absolutely, Ron. Good point. My point is that they were more dangerous once IN power than they had been prior to being in power. Why? They had far greater resources at their command.

Think about that.

I know perfectly well that people on both sides of the fence may tell lies, but the ones in power worry me more than the ones out of power. That's why the government scares me more than its opponents do.
