Can We Talk ????
« on: December 20, 2012, 10:14:59 AM »
"If you will not fight for the right when you can easily win without bloodshed; if you will not fight when your victory will be sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a small chance of survival. There may even be a worse case: you may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves."
                                                                                              Winston Churchill

Where are we in this quote (scenario) did we miss the fat lady singing?

Fat ladies singing at once could be all the noise we hear that is purported to be news and information.
