Cyberspace Potpourri

Marj's Note: Sometimes wisdom comes in small packages. I've decided to start saving tidbits I see on the web that strike me as food for thought and posting them here from time to time. If any of them trigger your own thoughts, strike you as particularly apt or erroneous or headline worthy, I hope you'll submit an opinion piece of your own by starting here.

Dear America: You are waking up, as Germany once did, to the awareness that 1/3 of your people would kill another 1/3, while 1/3 watches.
                                                                                                                               --Werner Herzog, German film maker

Just because you do not take an interest in politics doesn’t mean politics won’t take an interest in you.
                                                                                  --Pericles, statesman, orator, and general in ancient Greece 

To the new GOP: For the rest of my life, i don’t ever want to hear another Republican lecture anyone about law and order, family values or morality. The party of Trump has lost all credibility on those matters.
                                                                                                                                                                          --Author unknown

A reporter once asked A.J. Must, a Dutch-vorn American clergyman and pacifist who protested against the Vietnam Wr, "Do you really think you are going to change the policies of this country by standing out here alone at night in front of the White House with a candle?"

Muste replied, "Oh, I don't do this to change the country. I do this so the country won't change me."

Food for thought.
