Quote:I was referring to this pithy quote by George Orwell, who wrote things other than 1984. (My son just finished Animal Farm, and loved it.)
People sleep peaceably in their beds at night
only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf
--George Orwell--

I knew it. Thanks for the info. I by the way refuse to read animal farm ever since I here people abusing the some are more equal than others quote. I had the same for 1984, but it turned out to be great.....and completely different then I expected following 'the morons'....... I will not take the advice of the morons again. So I will get me a copy of animal farm.
Anyway, also this quote is not very realistic.....especially in the age of guns.....where every loser can shoot anybody he wants........rough men? That was in the times we still lived in caves.
