“There's a longstanding joke to the effect that you can shut down any discussion of the merits of a libertarian exit by asking three questions about the brave new world:

II. Whether you can sell yourself into slavery; and
III. Whether there is any age of consent.”
Cory Doctorow

Anatole France
“ People who say "this isn't the time for context" want you to be misinformed. Context is everything. Context is the difference between a stabbing and a surgery, between revenge and justice, between oppression and protection. Insist on context and be curious.”

Hawkeye: War isn’t Hell. War is war, and Hell is Hell. And of the two, war is a lot worse.
Father Mulcahy: How do you figure that, Hawkeye?
Hawkeye: Easy, Father. Tell me, who goes to Hell?
Father Mulcahy: Sinners, I believe.
Hawkeye: Exactly. There are no innocent bystanders in Hell. War is chock full of them — little kids, cripples, old ladies. In fact, except for some of the brass, almost everybody involved is an innocent bystander.
