I have been hooked to the American Sitcom, Boston Legal, lately.
With the ethically challenged James Spader portrays Alan Shore and the legendary Danny Crain, this show is too much to miss.
However, amidst the comedy and witty debates, some points does drive home interesting thought provoking issues. Some closer to our hearts (and home) than we might imagine.
In defending the bill of rights, Alan quoted the following:
Adlai E. Stevenson
Speech in Princeton University ~ 22 March 1954
The tragedy of our day is the climate of fear in which we live.
And fear breads repression.
Too often, sinister treats the bill of rights, the freedom of the mind.
Are concealed under the patriotic cloak of anti-communism
It is far easier to fight for principles than to live up to them.
~Alan Shore
