“People should not fear their government, their government should fear the people.”
I want to nominate those words from V for Vendetta as the best movie line since Anthony Hopkins said “Screw the government” in defiance of prohibition in Legends of the Fall.
There were many platitudes in V for Vendetta concerning the power of ideas and the relationship between citizens and the state. But I would nominate a second candidate for best movie line: “Artist use lies to reveal the truth, politicians use lies to conceal the truth.”

It’s also used in Sicko, if I’m not mistaking.
Man, was I disgusted by that movie. I really can’t believe what was shown in your country. Like I said to Casey, you’re always free to move to Belgium 🙂
