Jose Rizal and Charles Darwin
To kill an error is as good a service as, and sometimes even better than, establishing of a new truth or fact. - - - Charles Darwin
My dear reader, can you name me one Filipino as product of college education in any
of our prestigious universities in the Philippines - such as La Salle, Ateneo, AIM, Assumption college, University of the Santo Thomas, and so on - who has substantially contributed to the betterment of our society? Especially by exposing with intellectual guts the religious lies and political deceptions that is keeping us poor and aimless as a people; and, keeping us backward and rudderless as a nation? In fact, who has exposed the religious lies and political deceptions that have historically kept us Filipinos famous only as the Sick Man of Asia?
I don't know about you readers. For my part, I can name only one great Filipino - Jose Rizal. To think that the power, wealth, and glory that had him executed is still here with more power, wealth, and glory in our country today - the Catholic Church - the owners of schools, colleges, and universities such as Ateneo and UST where Jose Rizal, as a student, and who had already began to intellectually question the sensibilities of his Catholic education.
I said it before, I say it again: the truth hurts; but lies and deceptions are far more damaging and can last for a thousand years. - - - Poch Suzara
