A thought for the day

From one of the great US Federal justices:

I will remember that what has brought us up from savagery is a loyalty to truth, and truth cannot emerge unless it is subjected to the utmost scrutiny -- will you not agree that a society which has lost sight of that, cannot survive?

 - Learned Hand, jurist (27 Jan 1872-1961)

He also said:

The hand that rules the press, the radio, the screen and the far-spread magazine, rules the country.
