JamesNahikian 0 #1 January 22, 2004 Some Eric Blair for you: “Do not imagine, comrades, that leadership is a pleasure! On the contrary, it is a deep and heavy responsibility. No one believes more firmly than Comrade Napolean that all animals are equal. He would be only too happy to let you make your decisions for yourselves. But sometimes you might make the wrong decisions, comrades, and then where would you be? Suppose you had decided to follow Snowball, with his moonshine of windmills -- Snowball, who, as we know, was no better than a criminal?” “He fought bravely at the Battle of the Cowshed,” said somebody. “Bravery is not enough,” said Squealer. “Loyalty and obedience are most important.” D.
