"Tell that to the cop who died..."
It's not about the individual victim, CP, it's about the general principle. Charlie Hebdo is still going to press on schedule, with a million-copy print run, despite having had it's editorial staff gutted. I'll bet you a month's salary that 950,000 people buy a copy who never would have before.
Which proves that the word processor is mightier than the kalashnikov.
Originally posted by ChessPraxisThe quote "The pen is mightier than the sword" is not to be taken as advice for a duel. In fact people still know Archimedes, but who knows the guy who killed him? If you do have an idea with an impact on humankind and your name is related to that idea your legacy will live on. If you are a killer chances are that you are forgotten a lifetime after your kills. (I know there are some assassins wohse names lived on, but not many)
The pen is mightier than the sword. But fails against assault rifles.
