I missed this thread, so I decided to resurrect it.

There is no such thing as righteous anger, or just hatred. When we commit evil to right something we think is wrong, we become the evil ourselves.

And a bonus quote, since I hated the real Che Guevera and for what he really stood;

Quote:
Freedom is a fragile thing and is never more than one generation away from extinction. It is not ours by inheritance; it must be fought for and defended constantly by each generation, for it comes only once to a people. Those who have known freedom, and then lost it, have never known it again.
