Beware the puritans...

[fajrdrako]

If I fear anything, I fear the atmosphere of the war, the power which it gives to all the things I hate - the newspapers, the politicians, the puritans, the scoutmasters, the middle-aged merciless spinsters. - Christopher Isherwood

This is nicely applicable today, if you call it "the atmosphere of anti-terrorism", our new hot-cold war.

Funny how I like Christopher Isherwood more than I used to, now I can think of him as one of Captain Jack's boyfriends.
