Quote of the day
In a revolution, if you’re not willing to die or kill for your beliefs you’re basically irrelevant. Tweeting doesn’t count.

That was a good one, wasn’t it? @Tasso: Would it help if it was reworded “willing to risk death”?
When I read Glenn’s post, what I thought of was a quote from Alexander Solzhenitsyn:
In a state of psychological weakness, weapons become a burden for the capitulating side. To defend oneself, one must also be ready to die; there is little such readiness in a society raised in the cult of material well-being. Nothing is left, then, but concessions, attempts to gain time and betrayal.

There is nothing worth dying for*; there is much worth killing for, but there are ways of living that are worse than death. You have to evaluate your thresholds.
*unless you find yourself sure that your death can save what is good for the people that deserve it
