I agree with Pogo. He very definitely was right.

Actually, the quote about the enemy being us, although often attributed to Pogo, actually goes back further than that, to somebody in the War of 1812. The quote was also used on an Earth Day poster in 1970. But I think it applies to America now, in a lot of ways

PS: While we are on the subject of who said what, I am finding myself recently wondering who said,"The light at the end of the tunnel just might be a train."
