Bush gave the poison to Socrates....

Socrates voluntarily took the hemlock in accordance with his death sentence to emphasize the importance of his Social Contract w/ the State. This is a philosophical concept on which order and civilization is based, and he didn’t want to thwart that by initiating escape from prison, assisted by allies of course, which was very possible for him.

He made a statement in death that echoed through the millennia to this very day. Socrates is the true Philosopher King of Western Civilization.

Bush & his son, Shrub, on the other hand, are the Brutus & Cassius of American History. (Yeah, I know that is Roman Empire, not Greece!) Despicable murderous bastards and war criminals, are they. Power-hungry and bereft of conscience.

Fooled us big time! Fuck em.
