“Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country.” — Nazi Reich Marshal Hermann Goering

Maybe it was giving people some ideas... Bad ideas... Bad ideas involving guns... Guns pointed to their own heads... I mean, remember "Deer Hunter"? What happened to Cristopher Walken's character? Well enough said.

"Hello everybody, and welcome back to election night 2004. It has been an exciting election night so far, with only two candidates alive, John Kerry and George W Bush. The pistol now has only 1 bullet, and each candidate will grab that gun, point to his own head, and pull the trigger. Here with me I have George Bush Senior, who won the 1988 elections when Michael Dukakis blowed his brains out into oblivion. Mr Bush?"
"Thank you. Yes, this has been a bloody night, and I predict that the blood and brains of senator John Kerry will be on the wall right behind him. It will be great."
"Thank you, and now we go to the candidates... Mr Kerry picks up the pistol, and points to his head... And yes, he's alive, the bullet was not on the chamber! The pistol is passed to his oponent, George W Bush. Mr Bush Senior, any remarks?"
"Yes. This was unexpected. But I belive my son has a few tricks up his sleave."
"We'll soon see, as Mr. Bush grabs the pistol, and points to his own head, and... Oh GOD! He pointed the gun to Mr Kerry, pulled the trigger, and killed senator Kerry! Mr Bush is again the president of the United States, thanks to his unexpected trick. Bush Senior?"
"The gods of death have spoken. Now if you excuse me, I must lick senator Kerry's delicious brains out of that wall."
