I like the original mo betta...

"The only thing necessary
for evil to triumph over good
is for good men to do nothing"

Edmund Blake


Hello,

1. Edmund Burke, not Edmund Blake

2. He probably never said or wrote it. While my research was not as
extensive as this person's,

http://www.tartarus.org/~martin/essays/burkequote.html

I could also not find a single date or publication for the quote.
Chuck's paraphrase is as good as any other if there is no original.

Hi Otto
Read your book but had some minor problems with the lift tables :-)
I know who "anon" is and he had 2 versions of the quote. The first was "evil
didn't triumph because good men spoke and evil was nuts" and the second was as
written above. I figured since "anon" wrote it he can tweak it as he wishes. The
fact remains that evil is still nuts :-)

Be careful at high alpha angles and low airspeed

See ya
