L. Neil Smith telling it like it is

... what good would my ideas be by now if I had
betrayed them by becoming a yes-man? As surely as
the sun rises in the morning, I would have let
little pieces of what I stood for then get nibbled
off, a few at a time, until there was nothing
left of me at all. Maybe that’s why, in our
culture, the system seems to select for the most
evil, stupid, and insane among us. Only they can
rise to the top.….

The truth — whatever the context — is not a
welcome thing in this Age of Euphemism, in this
Empire of Lies. Someday it may be once again,
and, possibly, I may have had some small part of
making that happen.

Don't miss the first comment.
