You have to take the long view. First, when Moses came down from Mt. Sinai, man has already progressed to the point where a commandment against cannibalism was no longer necessary. And, second, it's like pissing on a boulder. For the first few thousand years, you don't see any effect. But after that, you start to see a definite impact.

History is a tragedy, not a morality tale.

All governments are run by liars and nothing they say should be believed.

Every emancipation has in it the seeds of a new slavery, and every truth easily becomes a lie.

If God, as some now say, is dead, He no doubt died of trying to find an equitable solution to the Arab-Jewish problem.

Every time we are confronted with a new revolution we take to the opium pipes of our own propaganda.

All governments lie, but disaster lies in wait for countries whose officials smoke the same hashish they give out.
