Wednesday wisdom: Friedrich Nietzsche

"Everything the State says is a lie, and everything it has it has stolen."--Friedrich Nietzsche, from Thus Spoke Zarathustra: A Book for All and None

Admittedly, Nietzsche was cynical, even by my standards. I wouldn't say "Everything the State says is a lie". However, when the State speaks a truth, it is generally in service to either a lie, or a self-serving ideal, which will either expand the State's power, or benefit the person or people running the State. Either way, the average individual loses.
