Quote for Today



"I am not a pacifist, because pacifism in this poor world in which we live, this lost world, means that we desert the people who need our greatest help. As an illustration: I see a great big burly man that is beating a little tiny tot to death....If he won't stop, what does love mean? Love means I stop him in any way I can..."
--Francis A. Schaeffer, "Conflicting World Views: Humanism versus Christianity."

You can trade out "burly man" for "federal government", and insert "American citizen" for "tiny tot".  Same implication.
