Thomas I. Emerson Quote

"Every man – in the development of his own personality –
has the right to form his own beliefs and opinions.
Hence, suppression of belief, opinion and expression is
an affront to the dignity of man,
a negation of man’s essential nature."

the pursuit must also look into word meanings, philosophies, and principles lost.  -- Mike, Norwalk      3
The system depends on you not asking too many questions....ask them anyway.  -- J Carlton, Calgary      1
Now the quest is to educate people to that which has been lost. Liberties, once long ago defined, are swept under the rug of ignorance, while the poor masses are duped with bread and circus and the cry of socialism's remedies. False narratives promote ignorant speech. Nice Tri-cord, Mike, Norwalk !  -- Ronw13, OR
