OH.

MY.

GOD.

This quote from your page is the greatest thing I've come across in a long time:

War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.

. .....John Stuart Mill

Now if I send that to a few liberal friends and family members of mine, they likely will never speak to me again..........

I ran across the John Stuart Mill quotation in the prologue of a book recently; I thought it was worth saving.
