Salo Critique: Part 1

We're an empire now, and when
we act, we create our own reality. And while you're studying that
reality - judiciously, as you will - we'll act again, creating other new
realities, which you can study too, and that's how things will sort
out. We're history's actors...and you, all of you, will be left to just
study what we do. DICK CHENEY
