“Socialism is a scareword they have hurled at every advance the people have made in the last 20 years. Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security. Socialism is what they called farm price supports. Socialism is what they called bank deposit insurance. Socialism is what they called the growth of free & independent labour organisations. Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all of the people.”
Harry S Truman, 1952
"We must act responsibility. To the degree to which we should oppose everything that could give itself to war, to crime, to catastrophe.
Because we who lived through the war know how it begins, where it comes from. We know that it does not begin only with bombs & rockets, but with fanaticism & pride, stupidity & contempt, ignorance & hatred.
It feeds on all that grows on that & from that. That is why, just as some of us fight the pollution of the air, we should fight the polluting of human affairs by ignorance & hatred."

in order to be old & wise, you must first be young & stupid. (I'm still working on that.)
