I always see the part about the “military/industrial complex” highlighted but he also had something else to say that nobody talks about much.
“We . . . must avoid the impulse to live only for today, plundering for our own ease and convenience the precious resources of tomorrow. We cannot mortgage the material assets of our grandchildren without risking the loss also of their political and spiritual heritage. We want democracy to survive for all generations to come, not to become the insolvent phantom of tomorrow.”
Over the past 5 years as a citizen journalist for my own newsblog, I’ve had occasion to spend more time in courtrooms than the rest of my 65 years put together.
It’s been quite a lesson. Everyone should go and see for themselves.
Judges, lawyers, probation officers, clerks, deputies, investigators - dozens in court every day. It’s quite a revolving door that feeds off lawbreaking, alleged and real.
A judicial version of the “military industrial complex.”
