    The army of the truly kind are still in the oven being roasted for the dinner of the truly evil. The army of the resolute have been forming now not by want but rather by need.

    Did you ever read a short story called "The country of the kind?" Very good tale. I read it in the SF Hall of Fame, Volume 1, but it's probably in other collections as well.
