Freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed.

Morality cannot be legislated, but behavior can be regulated. Judicial decrees may not change the heart, but they can restrain the heartless.

A right delayed is a right denied.

Like an unchecked cancer, hate corrodes the personality and eats away its vital unity. Hate destroys a man's sense of values and his objectivity. It causes him to describe the beautiful as ugly and the ugly as beautiful, and to confuse the true with the false and the false with the true.

KRXQ Update - Apology

Last Thursday, the “Rob, Arnie and Dawn Show” was devoted to the response to the comments that they made on May 28 about trans-children. Their guest were Autumn Sandeen a trans-activist and Kim Pearson a mother of a trans-child and the founder of Trans Youth Family Allies and the program was devoted to education. They had a frank discussion about how words can hurt and I think that the DJs now realize that they crossed line.
You can listen to the show here…
Part 1
Part 2
Part 3

I think that the purpose of the whole up roar over the show was to educate and I think that purpose has been met.
