Read this book.
Read this book. Commit it to memory. Tear out the pages and swallow them. Chew carefully, but hurry. Not to say necessarily that the political situation in this country will so deteriorate that ICE expands its roundups to political dissidents or the dangerously informed, but never say “never.” There are scoundrels loose in Washington, D.C.—and Madison, Wisconsin, and Atlanta, Georgia, and wherever dark money lurks—systematically undermining the institutions of justice and civil freedoms. It may be deemed an extreme view that tyranny is upon us, but also let us not be lulled into complacency. Back in the early ’60s, when Barry Goldwater was considered insanely far right, the Arizona senator declared, “Extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice.” He was worried about the Russkies.
“My bounty is as boundless as the sea,
My love as deep; the more I give to thee,
The more I have, for both are infinite.”
― Romeo and Juliet

“The ordinary-sized stuff which is our lives, the things people write poetry about—clouds—daffodils—waterfalls—what happens in a cup of coffee when the cream goes in—these things are full of mystery, as mysterious to us as the heavens were to the Greeks.”
