"The nation that will insist upon drawing a broad line of demarcation between the fighting man and the thinking man is liable to find its fighting done by fools and its thinking by cowards."

The horror. The horror.
I thought Germany's mandatory "quiet Sunday" laws would protect me from the unspeakable cacophony which has been piercing my ears. Alas, I've been subjected to the shreaking banshee-scream of vuvuzelas for the past hour or so, as Germany just beat England 4-1.
England, this was not your finest hour and a half.
