Hmm apparently a cookie thread. let's add another one:
I got this fortune cookie less than 24 hours ago:

"Our government has kept us in a perpetual state of fear -- kept us in
a continuous stampede of patriotic fervor -- with the cry of grave
national emergency... Always there has been some terrible evil to
gobble us up if we did not blindly rally behind it  by furnishing the
exorbitant sums demanded.  Yet, in retrospect, these disasters seem
never to have happened, seem never to have been quite real."
		-- General Douglas MacArthur, 1957

(Possibly one of the offensive cookies)
