I am a "liberal" but I've got a big mouth that runs faster than my inhibitions,
so I carry a natural dislike towards the penalizers of words.
Do not fear to be eccentric in opinion, for every opinion now accepted was once eccentric.
Bertrand Russell , Commandment 7 of "A Liberal Decalogue" , from "The Best Answer to Fanaticism: Liberalism," The New York Times (1951-12-16); later printed in The Autobiography of Bertrand Russell (1969), vol. 3: 1944-1967, pp. 71-2.
Every war is the result of a difference of opinion. Maybe the biggest questions can only be answered by the greatest of conflicts.
JC Denton , Deus Ex
I never submitted the whole system of my opinions to the creed of any party of men whatever in religion, in philosophy, in politics, or in anything else where I was capable of thinking for myself. Such an addiction is the last degradation of a free and moral agent. If I could not go to heaven but with a party, I would not go there at all.
Thomas Jefferson , letter to Francis Hopkinson (13 March 1789)
Cirsium palustre , the marsh
thistle , is a herbaceous
biennial (or often
perennial ) flowering plant in the family
Asteraceae . It is native to Europe, where it is particularly common on damp ground such as marshes, wet fields, moorland and beside streams. In Canada and the northern United States it is an
introduced species that has become
invasive . It grows in dense thickets that can crowd out slower growing native plants.
Cirsium palustre can reach up to 2 metres (7 ft) in height and features strong stems with few branches which are covered in small spines. In its first year the plant grows as a dense
rosette and in subsequent years a candelabra of dark purple or occasionally white flowers, 10–20 millimetres (0.4–0.8 in) with purple-tipped
bracts . In the northern hemisphere these are produced from June to September. The plant provides an important source of nectar for
pollinators . This
C. palustre flower was photographed in
Niitvälja , Estonia.
