THOUGHT OF THE DAY:

“I do not like to see ignorant or despotic officials interfering needlessly with private lives; I do not like to see creative thought crushed by the tyranny of stupid majorities. I do not like persecution, whether by majorities or of minorities. I am suspicious of government and distrustful of politicians; but insofar as there must be government I prefer that it should be democratic. I retain the tastes and prejudices of an old-fashioned liberal. I like democracy. I like individual liberty, and I like culture.”

― Bertrand Russell
