Roman Around

One of my favorite blogs is Proof Positive. Each day readers are presented with a compelling “Quote Du Jour” (among other things).

It really is well done.

I make it my business to visit daily.

I like that kind of consistency.

Here at Roman Around, I do not offer a “Quote Of The Day” – although I’ve entertained the possibility about a dozen times. Unfortunately, I have a difficult enough time keeping up with my own “Picture Of The Day” posts, let alone finding time to come up with a daily quote. The last thing I need is another cyber obligation I won’t be able to live up to.

However, every once in a while, a particularly tasty line or two from somewhere will slap me across the chops with enough impetus that I feel compelled to share it.

This is one of those times.

On Thursday’s edition of Dennis Prager’s radio program, while he was commenting on the non-coup in Honduras - something I wrote about earlier this week - he talked about the uselessness of “world opinion.”

He couldn’t be more spot on if he had to be.

(My feeling has always been that whatever “world opinion” is on any given matter, go with the opposite).

With nearly universal condemnation coming from all corners of the globe on what was the perfectly legal removal of Manuel Zelaya in Honduras - a budding and hopeful dictator  – Prager said, “If world opinion were on my side, I would start to rethink all of my positions.”

I love it.

Touche, Dennis.
