"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." ~ H.L. Mencken
C.S. Lewis: Enemy of The Golden Rule
Submitted by Robert Kaercher on Wed, 2007-07-25 16:00
"Lewis makes it clear that he thinks the soldiers are committing no sin in participating in the war, but argues that it is acceptable for both sides to 'mutually' kill each other, with the only justification that some political-military elite told them to do so. As long as they don't hate the innocents they kill, of course. That is Christian morality?" Column by Lysander's Ghost.
