People who are able to put things in their proper perspective get themselves quoted.

An example is Earl F. Morris, president of the American Bar Association, who was commenting on the participation by clergymen in many of the parades and blockades of dissent in the United States.

“I would ask that clergyman,” Morris said, “how he would react if, on Sunday morning, an entire anti-religious group blockaded the entrance to his church and prevented his parishioners from entering.”

Morris likened such action of the blockade of induction centers by persons dissenting from the Vietnam War or from the draft.

The Bar president noted, however, that any clergyman has a right to express his dissent from the pulpit but drew the line at any action which prevents others from doing things with which he may disagree.
