They looked for a scapegoat. Now we've got a new bunch of Hitlers. Linda Ronstadt

war men thinking
Indeed, ask every man separately whether he thinks it laudable and worthy of a man of this age to hold a position from which he receives a salary disproportionate to his work; to take from the people--often in poverty--taxes to be spent on constructing cannon, torpedoes, and other instruments of butchery, so as to make war on people with whom we wish to be at peace, and who feel the same wish in regard to us; or to receive a salary for devoting one's whole life to constructing these instruments of butchery, or to preparing oneself and others for the work of murder.

But, like all metaphoric wars, the copyright wars are not actual conflicts of survival.

We must be sure it is winnable, or winnable at a price we're willing to pay. Lawrence Lessig
