Standing Up Against Stupidity

Camus’ idea might have been based on that of Plato:  “One of the penalties of refusing to participate in politics is that you end up being governed by your inferiors.”

Christopher Hitchens wrote something similar: “Never be a spectator of unfairness or stupidity. The grave will supply plenty of time for silence.”

Regardless of who said it, we all have a duty to try to craft the world around us according to what we feel will make the best home for humankind.
