--{ Mad Philosophic Tomes of Known Unknowns:
"Isaiah Berlin Promoted Negative Freedom,
Dumb Happy People with No Leaders to Lead 'em,
With Positive Freedom You'd Sell Out Your Soul,
As the Masses are Led to a Common Goal,
Leo Strauss Pushed Necessity of Noble Lie,
A Myth for the Age, Causing Many to Die,
He Said It was Necessary for Unification,
Exaggerate the Enemy, Use Vilification,
Keep the People at Home, Always in Fear
Of Terrorism Creeping Ever So Near,
Amplify Threats, Invent the Others,
Those Involved Take Oath, All are 'Brothers,'
They Undergo in Delusion a Mental Metanoia,
Emerging from Think Tanks, Full-Blown Paranoia" © Alan Watt }--
