Radical Thoughts from Emily

From perhaps the greatest American poet of the nineteenth century, Emily Dickinson:

Much Madness is divinest Sense —
To a discerning Eye —
Much Sense — the starkest Madness —
'Tis the Majority
In this, as All, prevail —
Assent — and you are sane —
Demur — you're straightway dangerous —
And handled with a Chain —

I won't say anything about the Iraq war or the gay marriage debate; never fear. :-)
