Words that bear repeating
Aug. 31st, 2005 10:42 amI cut the intro paragraph out of this post - it was about politics and it wasn't necessary. What I want to quote can speak for itself:
"We will not be driven by fear into an age of unreason, if we dig deep in our history and our doctrine; and remember that we are not descended from fearful men. Not from men who feared to write, to speak, to associate, and to defend causes that were for the moment unpopular... We proclaim ourselves, as indeed we are, the defenders of freedom, wherever it continues to exist in the world, but we cannot defend freedom abroad by deserting it at home." - Edward R. Murrow
We are not descended from men who feared to write, to speak, to associate, and to defend causes that were for the moment unpopular. Words to remember when slander by association is the policial game and "STFU" counts as a clever withering retort.
