<GRIN>So, yeah, I stole the idea from Neal Stevenson, but he stole it from 
history first.

Sadly I can't find the *full* text of this, if anyone can find a more
complete version please let me know.  If you don't get too hung up on the
really offensive bits like the opening paragraph then Mussolini sounds a
lot like our modern neo-conservatives (that's why I'd like a full text
version, because he eases the readers into it a bit more).

That's not to say that neo-conservatism is crypto-facsism, this is merely
presented as an interesting illustration of how madness can be dressed up
as sanity--how easy it is to buy into *very* wrong rhetoric.
