One of my favorite quotes from Mark Twain: "In the beginning of a change, the patriot is a scarce man, and brave, and hated and scorned. When his cause succeeds, the timid join him, for then it costs nothing to be a patriot." Tom Buckley

#R:drux3:-92600:isrnix:11700011:000:499 isrnix!tim Dec 15 13:37:00 1983 Mark Twain would also have undoubtedly said that the true "patriot" is the person strong enough to stand up and oppose War, even when the whole country is inflamed with military madness, and when that person is likely to be jailed ,ridiculed and censored for opposing War. As eloquent testimony to his views on the subject, Net literati might want to read his piece "A War Prayer". It is a very moving antiwar statement. tim sevener Indiana University, Bloomington pur-ee!iuvax!isrnix!tim
