"That rifle hanging on the wall of the working-class flat or labourer's cottage is the symbol of democracy. It is our job to see it stays there." -- George Orwell, from an article he wrote for the London EVENING STANDARD newspaper on January 8, 1941 entitled DON'T LET COLONEL BLIMP RUIN THE HOME GUARD. http://www.orwelltoday.com/readerriflequotebk.shtml
