Quote of the Day

Here's something the poet Archibald MacLeish (1892-1982) wrote more than seventy years ago; if I hadn't told you that, you might have thought it of much more recent vintage:

"The remedy in the United States is not less liberty
but real liberty-- and end to the brutal intolerance
of churchly hooligans and flag-waving corporations
and all the rest of the small but bloody despots
who have made the word Americanism a synonym
for coercion and legal crime"
