"We
will not be driven by fear into an age of unreason, if we dig deep in
our history and our doctrine; and remember that we are not descended
from fearful men. Not from men who feared to write, to speak, to
associate, and to defend causes that were for the moment unpopular.
This is no time for men . . . to keep silent, or for those who approve.
We can deny our heritage and our history, but we cannot escape
responsibility for the result. There is no way for a citizen of a
republic to abdicate his responsibilities." - Edward R. Murrow
"During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act" - George Orwell "Those who don't read the news are uninformed, those who do are misinformed." - Mark Twain |
