Moyers Again

Here is Bill Moyers latest and greatest speech. It is really worth the read. It is really a wakeup call which can be summarized with this excerpt. Thanks to my sister Carlota for sending this.

As I look back on the conflicts and clamor of our boisterous past, one lesson about democracy stands above all others: Bullies—political bullies, economic bullies and religious bullies—cannot be appeased; they have to be opposed with a stubbornness to match their own. This is never easy; these guys don’t fight fair; “Robert’s Rules of Order” is not one of their holy texts. But freedom on any front—and especially freedom of conscience—never comes to those who rock and wait, hoping someone else will do the heavy lifting.
--Bill Moyers
