"David Hume was talking bullshit"

-One of the commentors, over at Samizdata. At least it's not mincing words. Heh.

The post itself and the discussion in the comments are quite interesting, and is sort of a companion piece to my previous post on the violence in Burma, and failure of a lot of people to recognize it for what it is--the repression of an unarmed popluace by an armed government.

As author of the post says:
"In Burma, as in so many other places, many people seem to have thought
that opinion, namely the good intentions of the majority, were more important
than firepower - they appear to be mistaken."

I like that. I 'm going to steal that.
