Those were their cards and they had to play them, willy-nilly, hunchbacked or straight backed, crippled or clean-limbed, addle-pated or clear-headed. There was no fairness in it.

You can’t convince a believer of anything; for their belief is not based on evidence, it’s based on a deep seated need to believe

The majority of my patients consisted not of believers, but of those who had lost their faith

The First Great Cause and Mover of all above When first He made that fairest chain of love, Great was the consequence and high the intent.

Left-wing zealots have often been prepared to ride roughshod over due process and basic considerations of fairness when they think they can get away with it. For them the ends always seems to justify the means. That is precisely how their predecessors came to create the gulag.
