First Of All...

Here is a video that I enjoyed: The Power of Nightmares Part 1. BBC documentary on the use of fear in politics. Features a good look at the philosophies of Sayyid Qutb and Leo Strauss.


Sayyid posits that things like excessive lawn care, talk of car prices and popular haircuts are indicative of a selfish and materialistic life. Basically, a Holden Caufield-esque look at the world that many people, first experience in high school and college.

Strauss went on to teach Wolfowitz, Pearl and Rumsfeld how to scare people into falling in line.

Fans of mustaches enjoy.
