Thought for Today

"The government must pursue a course of complete neutrality toward religion.*"

~~~~~ John Paul Stevens

(*Note that Justice Stevens wrote "religion," not "religion with the sole exception of Islam." Its adherents have the exact same rights and privileges as those of all other religions – no more; no less.)

Thought for Today

"I swore never to be silent whenever and wherever human beings endure suffering and humiliation. We must always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented."

~~~~~ Elie Wiesel
