"...madmen, hermits, heretics, dreamers, rebels and skeptics..."
Sully just passed this on: http://www.suntimes.com/output/news/cst-nws-uganda30.html and I saw a somewhat uninspiring blurb on Fox news. The "young people" label always bothers me, as though it's a dismissal. What're ya' gonna do? I'm pretty excited to see the film based on the walk and rally.
If anyone sees anything else, could you pop it up here?
Also, I randomly found this quote yesterday:
"He who has found his ideal today is like Lot's wife, already turned into a pillar of salt.... The world is kept alive only by heretics: the heretic Christ, the heretic Copernicus, the heritic Tolstoy. Our symbol of faith is heresy.... We call the Russian intelligentsia to the defense of man, and of human values. We appeal, not to those who reject today in the name of a return to yesterday, not to those who are hopelessly deafened by today; we appeal to those who see distant tomorrow--and judge today in the name of tomorrow, in the name of man."
- Yevgeny Zamyatin, important turn of the century Russian author and engeneer, from his essay "Tomorrow"
