Only In Degree

Seen in passing.

The FBI is only different from the Gestapo in degree, not in principle.

The secret police are the same everywhere. Their job is State Protection. All other jobs are secondary.

    Well, that’s true of any bureaucracy – they all want power…and more power. Infinite power.

    Can apply as much to the local Department of Motor Vehicles as the FBI (or CIA or whatever alphabet agency).

    Hair got it right a lot of years ago. They knew about the alphabet agencies

    But I think to myself, what a wonderful world.

    They are optimists, dreamers; the left of the good sort. They really believe that music can heal the world.

    But, you know, it’s nice to believe them sometimes. I wish I could I believe them all the time.
