Quote of the day:
"The point of public relations slogans like "Support our troops" is
that they don't mean anything... That's the whole point of good
propaganda. You want to create a slogan that nobody's going to be
against, and everybody's going to be for. Nobody knows what it means,
because it doesn't mean anything. Its crucial value is that it diverts
your attention from a question that does mean something: Do you support
our policy? That's the one you're not allowed to talk about."
-Noam Chomsky
