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: "Under all speech that is good for anything..." "Under all speech that is good for anything there lies a silence that is better. Silence is deep as Eternity; speech is shallow as Time." -Thomas Carlyle ----- "Just as the wave cannot exist for itself..." "Just as the wave cannot exist for itself, but is ever a part of the heaving surface of the ocean, so must I never live my life for itself, but always in the experience which is going on around me. It is an uncomfortable doctrine which the true ethics whisper into my ear. You are happy, they say; therefore you are called upon to give much." -Albert Schweitzer ----- "We should be careful to get out of an experience..." "We should be careful to get out of an experience only the wisdom that is in it - and stop there; lest we be like the cat that sits down on a hot stove-lid. She will never sit down on a hot stove-lid again - and that is well; but also she will never sit down on a cold one anymore." -Mark Twain ----- "Ignorant men don’t know what good they hold in their hands..." "Ignorant men don’t know what good they hold in their hands until they’ve flung it away." -Sophocles ----- |
