“You [demagogues] are like the fishers for eels; in still waters they
catch nothing, but if they thoroughly stir up the slime, their fishing
is good; in the same way it's only in troublous times that you line your
pockets.” -- Aristophanes, "The Knights," 424 B.C. Sounds familiar 2,440 years later, no?
