revolutionary thought for the day
10 Feb
Courtesy of Thomas Paine, journalist, propagandist, and one of the “Fathers” of the American Revolution:
Reason obeys itself; and ignorance submits to whatever is dictated to it.
A valid and worthy thought, and one that goes completely against the context in which Paine tends to be invoked these days. Just because some guy wrote it on a chalkboard while weeping on television doesn’t make something close to logical or true.
