BUMP to the Top, indeed.

It has been said, “The pen is mightier than the sword.”

If, then, we reserve a holiday to memorialize those who have “wielded the sword” on behalf of this great nation, how ought we memorialize those that have wielded the pen? Indeed, they are also every inch warriors, but they fight upon a different field; they fight the War of Ideas, which are more deadly than swords. A man may die by the stroke of a sword, but a bad idea can destroy an entire nation, or even the whole world.

So, how to remember them? I do not deign to answer, but leave the question as food for thought.

Rest In Peace, sionnsar, for in the tireless quest for Liberty others have come after thee, and now carry forward those noble ideas for which you were such a great and worthy champion.

Thoughts of sionnsar, and prayers for LibreOuMort. Although he is greatly missed, I pray that LibreOuMort feels the joy of having had him in her life. God bless them both.
