"Evil thinks not to beguile us by unveiling the terrible truth of it's festering intent, but comes, instead, disguised in the diaphanous robes of virtue, whispering sweet-sounding lies intended to seduce us into the dark bed of our eternal graves."

Have you read "Tradgedy and Hope" by Carrol Quigley??
If not, you should, it is very revealing.
Couple of facts about Quigley.
Slick Willy Clinton mentioned his mentors in his first inaguaral address, Quigley was the only one he mentioned by name.
Quigley was voted 'most influential' (on their thinking) by the students at the prestigeous Columbia University for 28 straight years.
"Foreign aid might be defined as a transfer of money from poor people in rich countries to rich people in poor countries." -- Douglas Casey, Classmate of Bill Clinton at Georgetown University (who didn't buy into Quigley.)
Over the course of evolution of mankind, there has been one consistency: We've become less and less cloistered.
It's just about inevitable and is probably a requirement for the advancement of mankind as a species as we move more and more into being a galactic civilization.
I'm using a bit of imagination, but, keep in mind if you told someone 500 years ago all of Europe will be, for the most part, one government and has just about abolished religion and people are communicating using 1" screens and boards they'd probably string you up and burn you to death.

"What this country needs are more unemployed politicians." -- Edward Langley
"The American political system is like a gigantic Mexican Christmas fiesta. Each political party is a huge pinata -- a papier-mache donkey, for example. The donkey is filled with full employment, low interest rates, affordable housing, comprehensive medical benefits, a balanced budge and other goodies. The American voter is blindfoled and given a stick. The voter then swings the stick wildly in every direction, trying to hit a political candidate on the head and knock some sense into the silly bastard." - P.J. O'Rourke,"Parliament of Whores"
"When a government controls both the economic power of individuals and the coercive power of the state ... this violates a fundamental rule of happy living: Never let the people with all the money and the people with all the guns be the same people." -- P.J. O'Rourke
