In Berlin there is a central square with a window in the middle of the ground staring down into a library painted white with no books on the shelves to commemorate the burning of books in that same place during WWII. It was a scene featured in the third Indiana Jones movie and trust me, looking down into that empty space is something that will bring you to tears. So what have we learned since then? Apparently nothing.
We believe in shutting voices down rather than disagreeing. What do you do if you disagree with Glenn Beck? Boycott. FOX News? Media Matters declares war on them claiming they will sabotage the network. Strangely, I can prove MSNBC anchors have lied and yet no one seems to care. I'd give a liberal example but I can't think of any liberal who had enough ratings to survive the lack of audience to get to the point of protest.
If we allow this, we will die quietly in a corner, shoved into a history book as something of little consequence like the millions that have died at the hand of communists but are written off. 50 million Chinese but they have a great economy. 20 milllion Russians, but Putin looked like a good guy to Bush.
Shut up and die and the world will never know you were here.
