"Cowardice asks the question...is it safe? Expediency asks the question...is it politic? Vanity asks the question...is it popular? But conscience asks the question...is it right? And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular but one must take it because it is right." ~Dr. Martin Luther King

A Random Thought


A scene out of a Monty Python movie comes to mind. Black Knight assails Arthur (the White Knight) in the forest with a stream of insults and abuse. They draw swords.

Black Knight loses both arms and legs in the fight. He hasn't laid a blade on White Knight. Amazingly he is still upright on the stump of his body. Here is how the remainder of the scene plays out:


BLACK KNIGHT:
Oh? All right, we'll call it a draw

ARTHUR:
Come on, Patsy!

BLACK KNIGHT:

Oh. Oh, I see. Running away, eh? You yellow b@$t@rds! Come back here and take what's coming to you. I'll bite your legs off!
