No, YOU move
"Doesn't matter what the press says. Doesn't matter what the
politicians or the mobs say. Doesn't matter if the whole country
decides that something wrong is something right. This nation
was founded on one principle above all else: The requirement
that we stand up for what we believe, no matter the odds or the
consequences. When the mob and the press and the whole
world tell you to move, your job is to plant yourself like a tree
beside the river of truth and tell the whole world -- No, YOU move."

Yes. I am a JMS fanboy. I have been since 1993 when I first saw
the pilot to the series Babylon 5. That series really explores the
themes of order vs. chaos, the conflict between authoritarianism
(totalitarianism) and free will (liberty). Take the time to watch all
five seasons with an eye to what is going on today.
