Bump for help.
It was an ARFCOMmer who said it and I told him that I was going to keep it. And now I can't seem to find it. Any help is appreciated. |

"By yielding to a false form of civility, we sometimes allow our critics to intimidate us. Active citizens are often subjected to truly vile attacks. They are branded as mean-spirited, racist, Uncle Tom, homophobic, sexist, et cetera. To this we often respond, if not succumb, so as not to be constantly fighting by trying to be tolerant and non-judgmental. That is, we censor ourselves. This is not civility, it is cowardice, or well-intentioned self-deception at best."
- Justice Clarence Thomas |
