Dangerous Citizen

Posted Tue Feb 16, 2010 in Ruminations

The quote for the day is from Austin Beard.

You need only reflect that one of the best ways to get yourself a reputation as a dangerous citizen these days is to go about repeating the very phrases which our founding fathers used in the struggle for independence.

Charles Austin Beard
US historian (1874–1948)

That’s a strange thing, because in the climate today I see the same thing. Although I guess it shouldn’t strike me as odd, it does. What a shame. We are losing what those men and women worked so hard to build. I guess that is the nature of things. The law of entropy is strong.
