“I've been called many things but never an intellectual. Its just as well. Once a flattering term,the rabble rousers & reactionaries now use the term as an epithet. Too mnay of our countrymen rejoice in stupidity, they look upon ignotance as a badge of honour. They condemn everything they don't understand. A little more of that talk, & I'll be branded a subversive.”
