Despotism & Democracy

As I type this, "Springtime for Hitler" is playing in the TV in the bedroom and I'm on the Firesign Chat. One of the chatters, Ken DeBusk (aka Dr. Headphones), led me to this lovely old piece of film. I love weird convergences like that. Please watch the little film when you get the chance, though. It's as timely now (some might say even more so) as it was when it was made. Update: More on despotism from Gore Vidal, also courtesy of Ken.
