Hypocrisy
Reader comment on item: [Mosque Mischief and] Counting Mosques

Submitted by Ezra Marsh (United States), Feb 4, 2003 at 10:46

Let's change the age old axiom.

Hypocrisy is the tribute virtue pays to vice. In this case, the virtue of the rightness of our struggle. And the vice of our once-laudable desire to avoid discrimination.

If our hypocrisy enables us to identify, isolate and destroy our enemies, vive l'hypocrisie!
