A Pugilist and a Whistleblower

A pugilist and a whistle-blower I never thought much of boxing but I liked Muhammad Ali`s forthrightness steadfast stood against the storm of hatred and vilification when he didn`t want to join the Vietnam war even though he was banned from pursuing his craft for three years, the best years of his age. It took a long time for me to embrace his courage. It took time to untangle myself from the net of lies and propaganda spewed by a submissive press and find the truth and ill will behind the mendacities of politics. Now that the great on good hail him and mourn his demise perhaps it is time to pardon Edward Snowdon who exposed the dishonesties of the establishment.
