“ Freedom has cost too much blood and agony to be relinquished at the cheap price of rhetoric. ”
It doesn't matter how smart you are unless you stop and think.
~ Thomas Sowell
People who pride themselves on their complexity and deride others for being simplistic should realize that the truth is often not very complicated. What gets complex is evading the truth.
What is ominous is the ease with which some people go from saying that they don't like something to saying that the government should forbid it. When you go down that road, don't expect freedom to survive very long.
Nothing is easier than to get peaceful people to renounce violence, even when they provide no concrete ways to prevent violence from others.
