I was sending this to someone else this morning... I thought it was interesting, considering today's political environment.

Do you remember Eisenhower's farewell speech?  

"In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist. "

ah, everyone remembers and repeats that quote.

Do you remember his second warning?  You don't?

"The record of many decades stands as proof that our people and their Government have, in the main, understood these truths and have responded to them well in the face of threat and stress.

But threats, new in kind or degree, constantly arise.

Of these, I mention two only. "

So there were two.... now what was the second... hmmm
