VOICES OF LONG-DEAD PEOPLE... |
The Time Traveler... heard:
- VOICES... FROM SOME LONG-DEAD PEOPLE -
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created
equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with inherent and
inalienable rights; that among these, are life, liberty, and the
pursuit of happiness.
- Thomas Jefferson, 1776. -
"Those who won our Independence believed Liberty to be the secret of
Happiness, and Courage to be the secret of Liberty."
- Louis Brandeis, Supreme Court Justice 1856-1941 -
"If liberty means anything at all, it means the right to tell people
what they do not want to hear."
- George Orwell, 1945 -
"Liberty is always dangerous, but it is the safest thing we have."
- Harry Emerson Fosdick -
"It is not the fact of liberty but the way in which liberty is
exercised that ultimately determines whether liberty itself survives."
- Dorothy Thompson (1894-1961) -
"Our defense is in the spirit which prized liberty as the heritage
of all men, in all lands everywhere. Destroy this spirit and you
have planted the seeds of despotism at your own doors."
- Abraham Lincoln -
"Liberty is the air America breathes . . . In the future days, which
we seek to make secure, we look forward to a world founded upon four
essential freedoms; freedom of speech and expression, freedom of
worship, freedom from want, freedom from fear."
- Franklin D. Roosevelt
"I would rather belong to a poor nation that was free than to a rich
nation that had ceased to be in love with liberty."
- Woodrow Wilson -
"They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little safety
deserve neither liberty nor safety."
- Benjamin Franklin -
"Proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants
thereof."
- Leviticus, XXV, 10. Inscribed on the Liberty Bell, -
Independence Hall, Philadelphia, Pa.
The original source of this quotation is Leviticus, third book
of the Old Testament.

"I would rather belong to a poor nation that was free than to a rich
nation that had ceased to be in love with liberty."
- Woodrow Wilson -
Good thing WW is dead, then.

how much would you sell your liberty for then, or would it be bit by bit,
ie ten quid/dollars for loss of freedom to congregate?
30 quid/dollars for the loss of the right to walk down the street without
having your movements recorded?

He would have been ashamed that the nation has been betrayed by his own
party, and that the party he so loved is the party that today most hates
liberty for the common man.
