Quote of the Day – Thomas Paine

He that would make his own liberty secure, must guard even his enemy from opposition; for if he violates this duty he establishes a precedent that will reach himself.  ~Thomas Paine

[I decided on using this quote after hearing about some journalists wanting to shutdown Fox News. It’s amazing how dumb and stupid people really are and their complete lack of ability to fully think ahead. What is to prevent the government from then turning around and shutting you up after they silence “your enemy?” The idiocy is mind boggling. When anyone’s rights are violated, we are all violated. –B]

    Which is why I think the idea of “Imagine every law you want passed being wielded by your darkest enemy” should be taught to every child in whatever passes for a Civics class these days.

    Seeing as how I’m less than a fan of any politician, I have very little problem keeping this thought in mind.
