great quote

I was messing around on AOL IM last night and saw my old roomie had put up an away message. Usually he just signs off or leaves it running with no away message, so I figured if he one up he had something he wanted people to read. What follows is perhaps one of the greatest quotes anyone has ever made...

"War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself." John Stuart Mill
