THOUGHT FOR THE DAY!

"This use of the government of all for the enrichment and aggrandizement of few is a revolution.... These sovereign powers ... have been given by you and me, all of us, to our government to be used only for the common and equal benefit. Given by all to be used by all, it is a revolution to have made them the perquisite of a few."-- Henry Demarest Lloyd. 1890s

 

FLASHBACK - A moment of reflection

That we have been attacked is certain. But before we send out the cruise missiles to prove how big our national dick is, we had better make sure we are aimed at the right party, and not just being suckered into bombing someone that the real planners and perpetrators of the World Trade Center attack want to trick us into bombing. Because if, in the heat of the moment and the lust for vengeance we surrender our basic American principles such as demand for proof beyond a reasonable doubt, then we ourselves will have damaged America and what it stands for far more than those who attacked the World Trade Center could ever do themselves. What the hijackers could not knock down, we will have thrown down ourselves. If we do that, then those who planned and carried out the attacks against the World Trade Towers and the Pentagon will have won, even if we hunt them down and kill them.

Webmaster's Commentary: 

I stumbled across this while searching for another article and decided that it was worth a relink after all these years. I wrote this only a couple weeks after 9-11, when the calls for war in Afghanistan and Iraq were starting to crank up.

Ahhh memories, seems like only yesterday. Thanks for the "flashback" Mike...I feel as though I've been on acid and still tripping.

Happy Memorial Day.
