Since our basic p a tte rn is on a par with that of the cavem an,
lei us come right down to concrete, fundam ental facts and ask
ourselves this question: ’’.Are w e h ig h ly advanced, conscientious,
brilliant intellectuals, who have reached the suprem e peak of ad
vanced knowledge, and qualified to decide and intelligently shape
the destiny of the corning generations? Or, are we steeped in a
conservative brew of egotism, arroganev and pusillanimity, at raid
to look Ix'hind the iron cu rtain of conservatism for fear th at we
will find that in reality we are only conservative, stupid, conceited
an«l educated crack-pots, adhereing to an established inability to
change, leaving the destiny of the coming generations to follow
our blundering barbarous w arlike ways into a diabolical progrom ?"
This is the question to which we m ust give unbiased, intelli
gent and careful thought (as thought is the gateway to knowledge,
and knowledge has no term ination). O ur loved ones’ destiny is at
stake, and in our hands
YOU and I. WE FATHERS AND
M OTHERS are the custodians of this precious trust. O ur duty
is obvious. W ill we shirk that duty, as it has always been
shirked, or will we rectify this grave e rro r? "I have the positive
solution to do so. IX) you have the courage and intelligence to
look behind the iron cu rtain of conservatism and rectify this e rro r*
If so. this knowledge is your weapon (and w ith this weapon you
use no force). It is free to you, ask for it!”
