You have no enemies, you say?

You have no enemies, you say?
Alas, my friend, the boast is poor,
For those who have mingled in the fray
Of duty, that the brave endure,
Must have made foes.
If you have none,
Small is the work that you have done.
You’ve hit no traitor on the hip,
You’ve dashed no cup from purjured lip,
You’ve never set the wrong to right.
You’ve been a coward in the fight.

-- Charles Mackay

Your Say

I must be doing something right. The list of enemies I have is like a shopping list at a grocery store. They key factor in collecting enemies? Telling the truth at all cost and throwing political correctness out the window.

Those people who have been foolish enough to become my enemy have usually been wise enough to keep quiet about it.
