Re: where people are treated fairly and equally

ok you young whippersnappers probably don't know who that guy is...

Just to elaborate (because it was a long time ago), "Henry Kissinger" is/was a satirical caricature, based on a well known National Security Adviser named "Dr Strangelove". As with most caricatures, Kissinger was an exaggerated parody that amplified the reactionary, amoral, untrustworthy and warmongering aspects of Strangelove's character for (very) black comedic effect. Apparently, much as with Ali G and Borat, many prominent people were taken in by Kissinger and mistook him for a genuine foreign policy adviser, causing something of a dilemma for the scriptwriters who had assumed the insanity of their creation would be obvious to everyone.
