Not tonight
Posted by Tom on May 4th, 2007Much like Lee Benson, I exercised my freedom to not watch the Rocky/Hannity “debate.”
In researching something else [1], I came across the following quotation which summarized my thoughts on tonight’s contest:
“It is impossible to defeat an ignorant man in an argument.”
— William Gibbs McAdoo
Guess neither of them will win this evening.
- The quotation I was actually looking for was mentioned today by Chief Justice Durham as she cited Thomas Jefferson: “If a nation expects to be ignorant and free, it expects what never was and never will be.” ^
- As I surfed the ‘net, I also came across a wonderful tidbit from Winston Churchill: “The best argument against democracy is a five-minute conversation with the average voter.”
I wasn’t going to watch, but it’s too entertaining. As long as people see it as entertainment, I say enjoy it.
