Liberty 2009 ?

"But what is liberty without wisdom and without virtue? It is the greatest of all possible evils; for it is folly, vice, and madness, without tuition or restraint.

— Edmund Burke

What Was Good For The Colonists Is Good Enough For Me

The rights of all mankind,
And an eternal defender of
The Constitution of the United States of America.

Thomas Paine circa 2009
