Three Days And A Wake-Up

 

Quote of the Day

 

"Some Public Health Service officers deployed in detention centers suffer 'moral distress'..."

I will do no harm or injustice to them...Into whatsoever houses I enter, I will enter to help the sick, and I will abstain from all intentional wrong-doing and harm, especially from abusing the bodies of man or woman, bond or free. 

Now if I carry out this oath, and break it not, may I gain for ever reputation among all for my life and for my art; but if I break it and forswear myself, may the opposite befall me. ~ Hippocrates

Quote of the Day

 Commander Vimes didn't like the phrase "The innocent have nothing to fear', believing the innocent had everything to fear, mostly from the guilty but in the longer term even more from those who say things like "The innocent have nothing to fear." ~ Sir Terry Pratchett
