Was listening to NPR's Fresh Air: with Terry Gross while making Made in Windsor magnets with my wife just now, and it was an interview with recent Republican punching bag/former militant anti-war activist/current professor of education at U of Chicago, William Ayers. I wanted to share this quote:

"I live with doubt today, everyday, all the time... and it is different than being young and certain and jacking yourself up to do certain things. I argue to my students, I argue to young people all the time that you cannot live a political life, you can't live a moral life if you're not willing to open your eyes and see the world more clearly, to see some of the injustices going on, to try to make yourself aware of what's happening in the world. And when you are aware you have a responsibility to act, and when you act you have a responsibility to doubt, and when you doubt you can't get paralyzed. You have to use that doubt to act again. And that then becomes the cycle. You open your eyes, you act, you doubt, you act, you doubt. Without doubt you become dogmatic and shrill and stupid, but without action you become cynical and passive and a victim of history and that should never happen." - William Ayers on NPR's Fresh Air, Nov 18 2008.

Awesome. Listen to the full interview here: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=97112600
