QUOTE: Alexander Solzhenitsyn on “Nothing left to lose”
Saturday, November 27, 2010“And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? … … …” — Alexander Solzhenitsyn

QUOTE: Support, not illumination
Friday, November 26, 2010http://nicholasnigro.blogspot.com/2010/11/drunks-and-lampposts.html
Legendary baseball broadcaster Vin Scully once said, “Statistics are used much like a drunk uses a lamppost—for support, not illumination.”
*** begin quote ***
But come to think of it, uber-controversial chitchat and proselytizing are unwelcome and not encouraged by most of us.
*** end quote ***
But then keep your goons from bothering the rest of us. Unfortunately, these costumed dolts seem to think they have some right to use force on anyone who, without injuring someone else, object to their “help”.
Argj!!!
