QUOTE: A very good point from Gene at Harry's Place:
"Speaking on the death in 1962 of one of the great people of the 20th century and one of the great figures of the democratic Left-- namely Eleanor Roosevelt-- Adlai Stevenson paid tribute by saying, "She would rather light a candle than curse the darkness."
Lately I've been wondering why-- when it comes to Iraq-- there is so much darkness-cursing on the Left, and so little candle-lighting. Why do antiwar leftists seem more intent on finding reasons for despair about events than in identifying and nurturing reasons for hope?"
"Thou shalt not extinguish thine anger, but shall master it,
that thy conscience may not be blunted by adjustment
to wrong causes."
