Quote of the day

The Supreme Court said nothing about silliness, but I suspect it may play more of a role than one might suppose.

Cry, the beloved country, for the unborn child that is the inheritor of our fear. Let him not love the earth too deeply. . . For fear will rob him of all if he gives too much.
