thought for the day... Not at any time. Ive never joined any organization—not even the ones Ive organized myself. I prize my own independence too much. And philosophically, I could never accept any rigid dogma or ideology, whether its Christianity or Marxism. One of the most important things in life is what Judge Learned Hand described as that ever-gnawing inner doubt as to whether youre right. If you dont have that, if you think youve got an inside track to absolute truth, you become doctrinaire, humorless and intellectually constipated. The greatest crimes in history have been perpetrated by such religious and political and racial fanatics, from the persecutions of the Inquisition on down to Communist purges and Nazi genocide. Saul Alinsky
