"In the beginning of a change, the patriot is a scarce man, and brave and hated and scorned. When his cause succeeds the timid join him, for then it costs nothing to be a patriot."

I agree, yet I consider our beer the best in the world. And don't dispute it any further - or you'll hear some more "rough" language. ;)
And I honestly don't understand what's so bad about it, either. Yes, it is spoken deeper in the throat than, let's say, English. But I love the language no matter what.
