Please note: Do not construe this post as opening a political discussion. The quotation is a great specimen of noble rhetoric, and applicable in many situations having nothing whatever to do with its original context. "Labor, like Israel, has many sorrows. Its women weep for their fallen, and lament upon the future of the children of the race. It ill behooves one, who has supped at labor's table, and who has been sheltered in labor's house, to curse with equal fervor and fine impartiality both labor and its adversaries, when they become locked in deadly embrace."
I am not sure any person in the labor movement can equal the philosophical talents of the late gifted Eric Hoffer.
"A man is never drunk if he can lay on the floor without holding on." Oh, wait a minute. That was Joe E. Lewis. Sorry.
