  To all supporters of war-mongering: Let's increase taxes to pay for war. Let's institute a draft to insure adequate troops. Let's see to it that you are the first ones to go. Let's make sure all soldiers are paid at least what Wal-Mart workers make. Let's try to remember when our leaders made such remarks as "We have nothing to fear but fear itself" and "Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country" instead of "GO TO THE MALL."

  What does that mean being close to being a Soviet? We are being taken over by illegal immigrants and you still have faries of communism in your head? We have much bigger fish to fry. I.F. Stone: When you take on a cause you know you are going to lose you must do it because you truly believe in it, not as a martyr. You must enjoy the fight because you believe in it and your only hope is someday others will agree and continue the fight.

  "The only kinds of fights worth fighting are those you are going to lose, because somebody has to fight them and lose and lose and lose until someday, somebody who believes as you do wins. In order for somebody to win an important, major fight 100 years hence, a lot of other people have got to be willing -- for the sheer fun and joy of it -- to go right ahead and fight, knowing you're going to lose. You mustn't feel like a martyr. You've got to enjoy it." -- I.F. Stone
