"America is the land of the free, where everyone is free to suppress the liberties of others."
"The article told of the efforts of a Harvard graduate, a Dr. Sears, back in 1936, to encourage Shaw to accept an honorary doctorate from Harvard on the occasion of the tercentenary of the school's founding. Shaw replied in words to the effect that, while thanks for the good thought, he didn't think it appropriate for him to be accepting honorary degrees from schools such as Harvard because for many years he had been advocating that the best thing that places like Harvard, Yale, Oxford, Cambridge, the Sorbonne, etc., "and other such ancient corrupters of youth" could do would be to burn themselves to the ground and sow the ground with salt so that they could never arise again. I never will forget the astonished look on the faces of the young people in that room to hear such anarchic and revolutionary sentiments regarding such treasured icons of our society issuing from the pen of one who had so long preceded the revolutionary 1960s!"

Thanks for the sweet words I'd not call it revolution, but trying to see the trees of the forest, and God forbid, I'm not trying to impose my thinking to other people. For one thing I dislike in this world is people who blind follow other people -- especially when it comes to religious circle. It makes me literary sick! I had one conversation with these sheep yesterday, and can you believe there is a formal how to ask questions to "scholars"? It made so angry yesterday and still am.

It might not succeed for me to find the trees of the forest, but at least I am trying
