I AM HAVING ONE OF THOSE DAYS WHERE MY FAITH IN THE SUPREMACY OF REASON IS SHAKEN.

"That community is already in the process of dissolution where each man begins to eye his neighbor as a possible enemy, where nonconformity with the accepted creed, political as well as religious, is a mark of disaffection; where denunciation, with specification or backing, takes the place of evidence; where orthodoxy chokes freedom of dissent; where faith in the eventual supremacy of reason has become so timid that we dare not enter our convictions in the open lists, to win or lose." ---Learned Hand
