[sdiy] Holy price tags, Batman!

is there anything you can do with that, that you wouldn't be able to do
with 33.3 mini-moog voyagers?

of course, since this ~is~ a DIY list, how much would it cost to build
something comparable to that?

	We got around to the subject of war again and I said
	 that, contrary to his attitude, I did not think that
	 the common people are very thankful for leaders who
	 bring them war and destruction.

	"Why, of course, the people don't want war," [he] shrugged.
	 "Why would some poor slob on a farm want to risk his life
	 in a war when the best that he can get out of it is to
	 come back to his farm in one piece. Naturally, the common
	 people don't want war; neither in Russia nor in England
	 nor in America, nor for that matter in Germany. That is
	 understood. But, after all, it is the leaders of the
	 country who determine the policy and it is always a
	 simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a
	 democracy or a fascist dictatorship or a Parliament or a
	 Communist dictatorship."

	"There is one difference," I pointed out. "In a democracy
	 the people have some say in the matter through their
	 elected representatives, and in the United States only
	 Congress can declare wars."

	"Oh, that is all well and good, but, 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 way in any country."
