The fact that our society allows people like him to have acess to media resources is inherently tragic. It's an admission that our species is still producing fools without enough sense or courage to protect themselves and those who depend on them.
"Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet deprecate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle! Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did, and it never will. Find out just what people will submit to, and you have found out the exact amount of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them; and these will continue until they are resisted with either rods or blows, or with both. The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress."
-- Frederick Douglass
Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.
-- President Ronald Reagan
Why is this even worthy of comment. It is totally in keeping with the other trash the Glob publishes. (And they and the NY and LA Slimes wonder why their subscriptions are down?) I am surprised this guy isn’t editor in chief yet.
You haven't?! Shame on you! I am going to report you to the duplicate post police.
I have read every single post ever posted here since 1997. Anyone who hasn't should be banned, tarred and feathered, and brought up on felony hate-crime charges!
And no parole for you filthy duplicate posters!
Why people like you think this is some failing on the part of the would-be bitch escapes me.
There are words to describe people such as yourself whose understanding of Human Nature and whose view of life on earth is so simplistic: “Simpletons” is one. “Dead” is another. “Bitch”, of course, is still another. “Tragic” is still another. But “Masturbatory thinkers” is one I like a lot....
Yes, it would be nice if we all agreed on everything — or would it? Because there are good guys and bad guys, we will find ourselves in conflict. Not to be in conflict is to accept anything, however bad it might be. Is that what you want? Do you actually think that you will be, not only spared, but honored for your shameful retreat from responsibility? The world is a tough place, mister, and if you can’t or won’t fight for your security and prosperity, you will be consumed by the forces around you. No doubt, you would like the world to be different, but it is not. And you will not and cannot change it, however many good people you are prepared to sacrifice to that end. Of course, it is almost too obvious to mention that you would never be prepared to sacrifice yourself or your family, would you? As long as it is others who pay the price for your misplaced idealism, everything is A-OK, right?
