On this anniversary of the Oklahoma bombing, former President Clinton has a wonderful and most thoughtful piece in the NYTimes. Lorri from work pointed out the last paragraph as worth re-reading but I thought this one was just worthy of being on anything you stick things to. Send it to yourself and to your friends:
Americans have more freedom and broader rights than citizens of almost any other nation in the world, including the capacity to criticize their government and their elected officials. But we do not have the right to resort to violence — or the threat of violence — when we don’t get our way. Our founders constructed a system of government so that reason could prevail over fear. Oklahoma City proved once again that without the law there is no freedom.
There is much quotable in this essay, but it’s worth saving for the re-read.
