if you do not believe in the Bill of Rights, you are not an American...if you are afraid to read what you want, you are not an American...if you feel inhibited or feel reluctant to express your opinion...and you are careful about your associations...you are a coward and mentally you are a citizen of FEAR and you are not a patriot....in your mind you are a citizen of a Nazi-Soviet hybrid state...being an American means you never have to apologize for your opinion.
you have a choice- you can leave a legacy of high-minded community activism, be a spiritual example to the next generation...or you can be safe and bequeath to the world your empire of rusting metal and rotting wood.
