"Paine-full" words of advice

"Ignorance...once dispelled...is impossible to reestablish. It is not originally a thing of itself, but it is only the absence of knowledge; and though man may be kept ignorant, he cannot be made ignorant." -- Thomas Paine, The Rights of Man

Paine's is the revolutionary voice that we are lacking in the present day. There is certainly nothing wrong or illegal about standing up for a powerful cause...even if it may go against the grain.
