It's all about setting limits. Inquisitors die, murderous emperors die, freewheeling freethinkers die, Rock gods die, but even God is having trouble killing off the corporations and the demigod-like Roosevelts, who as DaveMonroe revealed in the latest internet coup have finally been exposed through careful ear photo comparisons. It all traces back to the Roosevelts; they were everyone, everywhere, the whole time.

If we got him right, pope claimed that enlightenment itself laid the foundation to all the totalitarian terrors, because it took away these god given limitations, which lend conventional tyrants their excuses to run the show, and gave way for freewheeling free thinkers to pursue their limitless goals.
