The erosion of a nation's concern for life and for individual rights, has always preceded the intrusion of tyranny.

Prejudice locks the mind. Nothing can enter. Nothing true can escape.

The Internet...has become the voice of the people in the first genuine experiment in democracy yet conducted in America. It stands ready to serve every facet, every faction.

The true test of liberty is the right to test it, the right to question it, the right to speak to my neighbors, to grab them by the shoulders and look into their eyes and ask, “Are we free?” I have thought that if we are free, the answer cannot hurt us. And if we are not free, must we not hear the answer?

We are defined by how we use our power.

Although we give lip service to the notion of freedom, we know the government is no longer the servant of the people but, at last has become the people's master. We have stood by like timid sheep while the wolf killed - first the weak, then the strays, then those on the outer edges of the flock, until at last the entire flock belonged to the wolf.

The people of a nation are enslaved when, together, they are helpless to institute effective change, when the people serve the government more than the government serves them.
