'... politicians, on the evidence available
to us, are interested not in truth but
in power and in the  maintenance of
that power. To maintain that power
it is essential that people remain in
ignorance, that they live in ignorance
of the truth, even the truth of their
own lives. What surrounds us therefore
is a vast tapestry of lies, upon which 
we feed.'
- Harold Pinter 
(from his Nobel lecture, I suppose)
