It is much more powerful to seek Truth for one's self.  Seeing and hearing that others seem to have found it can be a motivation.  With me, I was drawn because of much error and bad judgment on my part. Confronting one's own errors and bad judgment is a very life altering situation.  Confronting the errors and bad judgment of others is usually hypocrisy.

One CIA boss once said that a man who isn't a bit of a communist in his twenties doesn't have a heart, and who remains a commie past forty doesn't have a brain..

I didn't know Winston Churchill was a CIA boss.

And the quote is: “If you're not a liberal at twenty you have no heart, if you're not a conservative at forty you have no brain.”

I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought

Ah.. so then it was a favorite quote of one CIA boss... I think the one that got paranoid and started a mole-hunt in the sixties or seventies.

I guess it's easy enough to call for taking from the producers and giving to non-producers until you have aquired enough for them to start taking from you.

You also have to remember that "liberal" Democrats back in the '60's were a lot more conservative than what we're seeing today......heck, JFK would be considered the leading Tea Party candidate with his platform (lower taxes, increased military involvements, hardline against foreign enemies, etc.)....
