    A quotation from Bertrand Russell

    Very few people can resist saying malicious things about their acquaintances, and even on occasion about their friends; yet when people hear that anything has been said against themselves, they are filled with indignant amazement.

    Bertrand Russell (1872-1970) English mathematician and philosopher
    Conquest of Happiness, Part 1, ch. 8 “Persecution Mania” (1930)

    A quotation from Lincoln

    I have always thought that all men should be free; but if any should be slaves it should be first those who desire it for themselves, and secondly those who desire it for others. Whenever [I] hear any one arguing for slavery I feel a strong impulse to see it tried on him personally.

    Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865) American lawyer, politician, US President (1861-65)
    Speech (1865-03-17) to the 104th Indiana Regiment, Indianapolis

    CW: Warning anger.

    @SavahRellcast

    I hate this too. And to non-rabbit-owners reading, yes, getting this sort of BS is *really* common.

    I find it tends to shut them up if you start talking about cooking their dog, or their kid.
