"Why I Protest"

In the absence of a full blog for right now, I thought I would quote Ron Paul’s reference in Liberty Defined to Elie Wiesels’s One Generation After. It’s called “Why I Protest.”

“Author Elie Wiesel tells the story of the one righteous man of Sodom, who walked the streets protesting against the injustice of this city. People made fun of him, derided him. Finally, a young person aksed: “Why do you continue your protest against evil; can’t you see no one is paying attention to you?” He answered, I’ll tell you why I continue. In the beginning, I thought I would change people. Today, I know I cannot. Yet, if I continue in my protest, at least I will prevent others from changing me.”
