I have found that, to make a contented slave, it is necessary to make a thoughtless one. It is necessary to darken his moral and mental vision, and , as far as possible, to annihilate the power of reason. He must be able to detect no inconsistencies in slavery; he must be made to feel that slavery is right; and he can be brought to that only when he ceases to be a man. ~ Frederick Douglas - Narrative - X
It's terrible that we've been forced into this corner. It just should not happen. There are not enough foster carers around anyway without these rules. They were saying that we had to be prepared to talk about sexuality with 11-year-olds, which I don't think is appropriate anyway, but not only that, to be prepared to explain how gay people date. They said we would even have to take a teenager to gay association meetings. How can I do that when it's totally against what I believe? ~ Mr. Matherick - a foster parent who is having his foster child taken away for failing to abide by Britian's Equality Act 2006.
The truth you dig out yourself is so much more precious than anything else. ~ Josh McDowell
