After the onslaught of recent German headlines
I was / felt compelled to make this knowledge public:

Former German Defense Minister Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg who just resigned over a plagiarism scandal was clearly NOT a SMITHS fan:

"The words you use should be your own
Don't plagiarise or take "on loans"
There's always someone, somewhere
With a big nose, who knows
And who trips you up and laughs
When you fall"

the SMITHS "Cemetry Gates"

and now he's a "punctured bicycle on a hillside, desolate."

"The whole government is a Ponzi scheme.” -Bernie Madoff

THIS IS JUST CREEPY.
