Do we have time to really hear TR in a Sound Bite World? Here is a sound bite from Griffith V2 (Speech or Document 4). The books we read play a part in making the person we become. That is why the ultimate TR Library should include what he read. Read the sound bite and then the speech that contains a reference to a book upon which he develops this principle and see if it is worthwhile to hear the rest of the story.

Sound bite:
Such painting finally induces a kind of moral color-blindness; and people affected by it come to the conclusion that no man is really black, and no man really white, but they are all gray. In other words, they neither believe in the truth of the attack, nor in the honesty of the man who is attacked; they grow as suspicious of the accusation as of the offence; it becomes well-nigh hopeless to stir them either to wrath against wrong-doing or to enthusiasm for what is right; and such a mental attitude in the public gives hope to every knave, and is the despair of honest men.
