The Pamphleteer |
|
|
During colonial times in America, if you wanted to convince or inform people about some issue that you considered important, you went to the local printer and got some pamphlets printed. You then handed them out, read them to anybody that was interested, nailed them to the town bulletin board, or the nearest tree.
The first amendment was specifically written to protect this type of activity and the writers or "pamphleteers".

Refdesk Thoughts of the Day: "The feeling of the nation must be quickened; the conscience of the nation must be roused..." "The feeling of the nation must be quickened; the conscience of the nation must be roused; the propriety of the nation must be startled; the hypocrisy of the nation must be exposed; and its crimes against God and man must be proclaimed and denounced." -Frederick Douglass ----- "What you fail to understand is the power of hate..." "What you fail to understand is the power of hate. It can fill the heart as surely as love can." -Earl Felton ----- "Every man has a right to his opinion..." "Every man has a right to his opinion, but no man has a right to be wrong in his facts." -Bernard Mannes Baruch ----- "If history repeats itself, and the unexpected always happens..." "If history repeats itself, and the unexpected always happens, how incapable must Man be of learning from experience!" -George Bernard Shaw ----- "Doing for people what they can and ought to do for themselves is a dangerous experiment..." "Doing for people what they can and ought to do for themselves is a dangerous experiment. In the last analysis the welfare of the workers depends upon their own initiative. Whatever is done under the guise of philanthropy or social morality which in any way lessens initiative is the greatest crime that can be committed against the toilers. Let social busy-bodies and professional “public morals experts” in their fads reflect upon the perils they rashly invite under this pretense of social welfare." -Samuel Gompers ----- |
