How we work [rodcorp]
The Steven Fry entry comes from a very well done interview, which includes this:
Bertrand
Russell, the great philosopher and mathematician, got into terrible
trouble by writing quite fearsome articles against the first World War
when it began. He got all these letters from people who said,“My child
is prepared to lay down their life for their country. Don’t you think
that sacrifice demands some respect?” He wrote this extraordinary essay
in which he said, “Don’t you
understand? The sacrifice we're asking of our young is not that they
die for their country, but that they kill for their country.”
I would suggest you read the whole thing.
