This is the quote that I was too verklempt to actually say out loud during the panel, for anyone who was mystified (It's from a Spiderman comic written by J. Michael Straczynski where it's said by Steve Rogers--google will turn it up if you want the specific issue):
It's that last sentence that gets me.
"Doesn't matter what the press says. Doesn't matter what the politicians or the mobs say. Doesn't matter if the whole country decides that something wrong is something right. This nation was founded on one principle above all else: The requirement that we stand up for what we believe, no matter the odds or the consequences. When the mob and the press and the whole world tell you to move, your job is to plant yourself like a tree besides the river of truth, and tell the whole world - 'No, you move.'"
