    The American people are doing their job today. They should be given a chance to show whether they wish to preserve the principles of individual and local responsibility and mutual self-help before they embark on what I believe to be a disastrous system.

    J. August Strindberg (1849–1912)

    I see journalists as the manual workers, the laborers of the word. Journalism can only be literature when it is passionate.
