And though history has vindicated Fred Korematsu, there are still heinous little amoral opportunists who, in the pursuit of their own career goals, would have us walk down that path again.
I would quote Tom Robinson — “pretty soon there’s gonna be no room for sitting on the fence” — except that Tom wrote those words more than a quarter century ago, and even then they seemed over-optimistic. Now there is no room on that fence. If you aren’t speaking out against this country’s increasing violation of basic human rights, then you are supporting it. There is no middle ground.
History is judging you now, reader. How will you measure up?
Update: It seems this post has drawn the ire of the one and only Michelle Maklin. I don’t know whether to be outraged or to revise my answer to the first question in this post.
