Apollo's Oracle

First They Came for the Journalists...

If we allow the government to attack the press simply for publishing the truth, we enable suppression of free speech. By refusing to resist them, we encourage them to continue their path inexorably towards totalitarianism. The press is the first domino in the sequence to that end. They are already cowed and cowardly (or worse, complicit). Once the government has silenced the press, the internet and the blogs will inevitably be next. If we aren't willing to lie down in front of this slowly, inexorably advancing tank, individually or collectively, we will be crushed anyway. We must speak out now, while we still can.
