  • If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past. It is not that they are afraid of being convinced. They fear only to appear ridiculous or to prejudice by their embarrassment their hope of winning over some third person to their side.

    Two additional sentences at the end of the often posted quote from "Anti-Semite and Jew". Those two sentences were always included in the quote when I first saw it making it's round years ago. Now it takes hunting to find the complete quote. Most sites cut it off after "the time for argument is past". I wonder who would benefit from us forgetting those last two sentences.

  • Kersten defended COPA from suggestions of bias during Saturday’s budget hearing, saying the agency has closed more than 1,100 cases this year with just 28% of those resulting in sustained allegations against the officers.

  • First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.

    Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a trade unionist.

    Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.

    Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

  • I'm personally annoyed that I can't find the bitter ones where I am. I used to pick and east the ones my mother grew in her garden raw. All of the ones I can find now don't have the right flavour.
