"You left the bondage of elephant lies and fled into the bondage of donkey lies"

Message Replied To ==========

I emancipated myself from the mental slavery of all the conservative lies...

My mind is free now. Old Republican pirates, yes they still rob us. Yet I now sing these songs of freedom!==============================

You should free yourself completely, my friend. There is another way, a k00ky way, where left and right ideologues are disdained equally, you never have to hold your nose and support candidate D or R, and you are free to explore issues from the firm, level ground of facts and basic principles.

Of course nobody will listen to you, ever. Slight drawback there.

"If we want to resist the powers which threaten to suppress intellectual and individual freedom we must keep clearly before us what is at stake, and what we owe to that freedom which our ancestors have won for us after hard struggles.

Without such freedom there would be no Shakespeare, no Goethe, no Newton, no Faraday, no Pasteur, and no Lister. There would be no comfortable houses for the mass of the people, no railway, no wireless, no protection against epidemics, no cheap books, no culture, and no enjoyment of art for all. There would be no machines to relieve the people from the arduous labor needed for the production of the essential necessities of life. Most people would lead a dull life of slavery just as under the ancient despotisms of Asia. It is only men who are free, who create the inventions and intellectual works which to us moderns make life worth while."

-- Albert Einstein, Science and Civilization speech to the Academic Assistance Council, Royal Albert Hall, London, October 3, 1933
