Joseph Catron

Or as I. F. Stone said:

"The only kinds of fights worth fighting are those you are going to lose, because somebody has to fight them and lose and lose and lose until someday, somebody who believes as you do wins. In order for somebody to win an important, major fight 100 years hence, a lot of other people have got to be willing - for the sheer fun and joy of it - to go right ahead and fight, knowing you're going to lose. You mustn't feel like a martyr. You've got to enjoy it."

Indeed -- it's a hoot!

And the hope from Wisconsin is really that: that more will leant it's a hoot, and be around working for it for a few years or dcades. That is the point of the Eleventh Thesis.
