[ale] OT: D-Day +68

[Jim Kinney]

We call people who gave their life for their buddies in arms "heros". When
we ask for the mighty to give up a little to support the needs of the many,
they refuse. Can we call them "cowards"?

"The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few"
"Or the one".

My favorite quotes from Star Trek. Much of my philosophy of life, economy
and government is from Star Trek.

Hmm.

As long as the general population is passive, apathetic, diverted to
consumerism or hatred of the vulnerable, then the powerful can do as they
please, and those who survive will be left to contemplate the outcome.
