A Word from Nietzsche
"The most perfidious way of harming a cause consists of defending it deliberately with faulty arguments."
- Friedrich Nietzsche
- Friedrich Nietzsche
Seeing this today as the "quote of the day" I was struck how it fits the times we live in. Would that the Repubs could find it in themselves enough introspection to recognize it as an indictment of their daily drivel.
Come to think of it, maybe those of us progressives with little finance background who continue to be enraged by what is or is not being done to solve the global financial crisis (myself included) might also be reminded that when we speak out of our lack of understanding - even ignorance at times - it may well be harming the cause just as those "deliberately faulty arguments" do. [Note to self: Take this to heart.]
