Criticism
“The essence of a free and civilized society is that everything should be subject to criticism, that all forms of authority should be treated with a certain reservation, and … that once you have produced … a totally conformist society in which there were no critics, that would in fact be an exact equivalent of the totalitarian societies against which we are supposed to be fighting a cold war.” (Malcolm Muggeridge in an interview by Mike Wallace, mid 1950s.)

Strom Thurmond
I do not recall the precise Latin phrase Dean Acheson used when asked to comment on Senator McCarthy's death, but I recall it was translated as, "Of the dead, say nothing but good."

What a waste.

Point to consider
According to Consumer Reports, August 2003, "Hormel Foods needed 65 years to sell 6 billion cans of Spam. It takes marketers less than three days to e-mail the same number of 'spam' messages to America Online customers alone", to say nothing of the millions of other serviced by alternate ISP.
