A syaing I’m using a lot these days
Lately I’ve been using this saying a lot:
The scary part about the lunatics taking over the asylum is that they tend to lock themselves back in their cells.
How many times have we seen that, eh? People get control of something, find “liberation” only to lock themselves back into the very cells from which they freed themselves. It happens in organizations, families, communities, and even in the relatively geological timescales of countries that begin in revolution against despotism only to end up back there again as much as, say, 200 odd years later.
