Quip of the Moment:
| DANGEROUS IDEA: Suppose we come to a point where we can only preserve what we have created by compromising our principles so severely that it is spoiled for us. Then it makes sense to let it be destroyed instead, UNLESS we believe that `younger generations' will be able to appreciate it without realizing what has been done to preserve it. Then we might come to accept a terrible view of life in which children live in innocent enjoyment of that for which their parents have secretly paid with their souls. (2002-03-02) |
