Three None Too Wise Monokus

knowledge tells us not to kill ~ wisdom knows how to get away with it 

when a wise fool gets into power ~ intellectuals disappear 

wisdom is knowing how to do the wrong thing ~ and make it seem just right

You know Andrea it probably is more outrageous nowadays, but I think looking right back through history from Nero to the Nazis it’s always been this way, cheers David
