    I think that's true of most Politicians, I personally am not a fan of Winston Churchill the man.

    On an historical note, Winston Churchill did not take the nation to war. It was Neville Chamberlain. Winston Churchill was a war-time leader, not a war-mongering leader.

    Where ignorance is greatest, religion is strongest.

    People will believe what they want to believe, because they wish it to be true or fear it to be so.
    (Terry Goodkind)

    Religion and ignorance are darkness but knowledge with wisdom is the light
