"The dogmas of the quiet past are inadequate to the stormy present. The occasion is piled high with difficulty, and we must rise with the occasion. As our case is new, so we must think anew, and act anew. We must disenthrall ourselves, and then we shall save our country."
— Abraham Lincoln, Second Annual Message to Congress

and swore to uphold the Constitution. You did not place your hand on the
Constitution and swear to uphold the Bible."- Jamie Raskin, professor of law at
American University, responding to MD state Senator Nancy Jacobs' biblical
justification for supporting a ban on same sex marriage.


At some point we must draw a line across the ground of our home & our
being, drive a spear into the land, and say to the bulldozers,
earthmovers, government and corporations, "thus far and no farther." -
Edward Abbey


A university is what a college becomes when the faculty loses interest
in students. - John Ciardi


"He who slings mud generally loses ground." - Adlai Stevenson


The Bible contains six admonishments to homosexuals and 362
admonishments to heterosexuals. That does not mean God doesn't love

Sure, call me any ugly name you choose -
The steel of freedom does not stain.
From those who live like leeches on the people's lives,
We must take back our land again, America!...
- Langston Hughes


The question is not whether we will be extremists, but what kind of
extremists we will be...The nation & the world are in dire need of
creative extremists. - Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr.


A classic is something that everybody wants to have read and nobody
wants to read. - Mark Twain
