More From Terry Pratchett

If you spend your own money on yourself, you care how much you spend and how well you spend it. if you spend your own money on someone else, you care how much you spend, but you don't care how well it is spent. if you spend someone else's money on yourself, you don't care how much you spend, but you do care how well it is spent. and finally, if you spend someone else's money on someone else, you don't care how much you spend, and you don't care how well it is spent. that is government.

I think that when we start thought-policing people and idea-policing people, then that's crossing a line. and i think, you know, everybody's so afraid of this imaginary line of thought police that they forget their own personal safety.
Thinking Ideas People
Experience has repeatedly confirmed that well-known maxim of bacon's that 'a little philosophy inclineth a man's mind to atheism, but depth in philosophy bringeth men's minds about to religion.' at the same time, when bacon penned that sage epigram... he forgot to add that the god to whom depth in philosophy brings back men's minds is far from being the same from whom a little philosophy estranges them.

In baltimore they can't do police work to save their lives. now because of freddie gray they're not even getting out of the car and policing corners - they're on a job slowdown, basically. right now if the police stopped being brutal, if we got police shooting under control, and the use of excessive force, if we have a meaningful societal response to all that stuff, and the racism that underlies it, the question still remains: what are they policing, and why?
Meaningful Car Racism
Ever since men became capable of free speculation, their actions, in innumerable important respects, have depended upon their theories as to the world and human life, as to what is good and what is evil. this is true in the present day as at any former time. to understand an age or a nation, we must understand its philosophy, and to understand its philosophy we must ourselves be in some degree philosophers. there is here a reciprocal causation: the circumstances of men s lives do much to determine their philosophy, but, conversely, their philosophy does much to determine their circumstances.
