Reply #33: The thing that has surprised me most,

[Z_I_Peevey]

during this painful time in our history, is the complete lack of bravery, both in the press and in Washington. With a few notable exceptions, there is no such thing as honor.

Sometimes when I hear people excusing these worms, these capitulators, by saying "So-and-so must have been threatened or they wouldn't be doing this cowardly thing," I just want to scream. So what? Bravery is standing up to threat. Honor is the willingness to die for an ideal.

Yes, I never would have believed that bravery could be in such short supply in the United States of America.
