[Peace-discuss] [Peace] 11:30AM Tue Sep 9th: demonstration in support of Steven Salaita -- was: Upcoming campus-wide event

[E. Wayne Johnson via Peace-discuss]

Some tolerances are required to allow the machine to run at all, oiled 
or un-oiled.

Where there is no robustness to faults, things will freeze up.

On the other hand, there is a point beyond which action has to be taken...
the last straw that starts a cascading of events.

Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should 
not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all 
experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while 
evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms 
to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and 
usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to 
reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their 
duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their 
future security.
