"An argument that judgment matters but knowledge does not is profoundly anti-intellectual. It implies that we do not need ever to learn anything in order make mature decisions. We can just proceed off some simple ideological template and apply it to everything. This sort of thinking is part of what is wrong with this country. We wouldn't call a man in to fix our plumbing who knew nothing about plumbing, but we call pundits to address millions of people on subjects about which they know nothing of substance." (google it)
Don't censor! Think! What would Ayn do? What would Ronnie do? You know what to do.
- "If you are against censorship, you are principally for the free publication of information and ideas you explictly do not agree with, ie strongly disagree with. Otherwise the principle is empty."
or
- "Censorship is never over for those who have experienced it. It is a brand on the imagination that affects the individual who has suffered it, forever."
Dude, check it, the NYPD censored me -- on this, your own little, pretty, ideal world-space -- and what kind of fCUk -- sorry dearies -- does anyone care? Nada. Not the New York Times, not DemocracyNow. Nobody. (cares if they lock you up). Lick it. See you in Guantanamo. Stay -- shhhhh -- conventional:

Hello, I am a paid sophist for the U.S. Military and Administration. My purpose is to alter information in crafty ways to feed the public mind the right way to think. Thank you. I have a nice pool and car, and so do my children. We are good.

- Article 3 describes minimal protections which must be adhered to by all individuals within a signatory's territory during an armed conflict not of an international character (regardless of citizenship or lack thereof): Noncombatants, combatants who have laid down their arms, and combatants who are hors de combat (out of the fight) due to wounds, detention, or any other cause shall in all circumstances be treated humanely, including prohibition of outrages upon personal dignity, in particular humiliating and degrading treatment. The passing of sentences must also be pronounced by a regularly constituted court, affording all the judicial guarantees which are recognized as indispensable by civilized peoples. Article 3's protections exist even if one is not classified as a prisoner of war. Article 3 also states that parties to the internal conflict should endeavour to bring into force, by means of special agreements, all or part of the other provisions of GCIII.
Priceless: "But Goldberg is just a dime a dozen pundit. Cranky rich people hire sharp-tongued and relatively uninformed young people all the time and put them on the mass media to badmouth the poor, spread bigotry, exalt mindless militarism, promote anti-intellectualism, and ensure generally that rightwing views come to predominate even among people who are harmed by such policies. One of their jobs is to marginalize progressives by smearing them as unreliable."
