"If once a man indulges himself in murder, very soon he comes to think little of robbing; and from robbing he comes next to drinking and Sabbath-breaking, and from that to incivility and procrastination. Once begun upon this downward path, you never know where you are to stop. Many a man has dated his ruin from some murder or other that perhaps he thought little of at the time." -- Thomas De Quincey
The author compares a discussion on moral relativism in a podcast with a US senator calling to kill American citizens protesting. I notice his blog doesn't have much hand-wringing about the current administration. How odd.
