Reader comments about this quote:

How true. -- Dylan, Americus
I'm not quite sure how to rate this quote or comment on it with stars. Considering the author, does the quote mean absolutely everyone need to religiously become socialists? At a natural law foundation; common law application, all are equal before the law (without hyphenation or the implied finite Americanism) There is no national common law (no matter how the post war between the States despots would want to reduce it to a unique system of stari decisis) Common law entities (States) unite with a charter (constitution), limiting their servant (the States united or the United States of America). I understand that a nation divided can not stand. Was he speaking of Japanese - Americans to be put into camps? Was he speaking of simple diversity that seems to melt away after a generation or 2 if left alone? Was he speaking of government generated racism (as is now in vogue)? 5 stars for being united as one under law, thumbs down for racism, and all else as would separate the family of man - including a statist theocracy's what should be in compliance to national policy,. -- Mike, Norwalk
