Quote of the Day
“Why are Westerners so insecure about everything that is so wonderful about the West: political freedom, free press, freedom of expression, equal rights for women and men and gays and heterosexuals, critical thinking, and the great strength of scrutinizing ideas - and especially faith? ... If we do not understand the differences between Islam and the West - why one is so great and the other so low - and we don't fight back and win this battle of ideas in order to preserve our civilization, in my view there is no point to your profession [journalism] or mine." ” ~ Ayaan Hirsi Ali, advocate for women's rights in Islamic cultures

Could have fooled me. I thought the point of journalism was to destroy our civilization by constantly gnawing away at its foundations.
