    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

    Thanks everyone. I couldn't have been more misfortunate timewise to acquire Covid. 10 days without proper speakers. I have still managed to listen to some great music though courtesy of some tiny Q-acoustic speakers I use as surround speakers. Glad you enjoyed my last sho Mik, please keep listening in. I believe I am on the mend having less aches and pains as the days go by. It is my last day of isolation today. On a positive note I have almost burned in a new set of valves so not all time has been wasted. My focus at this time is on my good lady who is not well at all and causing me quite concern.
    Keep yourselves safe gentlemen and I will both see and hear you at NEBO 11.
