Amen.  -- Me Again.
Right on !  -- KS
All rights are inalienable and personal. The society of the here Justice is not my society. Justice Jackson's society was that of totalitarianism, making a lie of the rest of the comment.  -- Mike, Norwalk      1
Thought control is practiced well by the socialist, which pollute this Free Republic under siege !!!  -- Ronw13, Yachats Or
Not shooting the messenger, this quote is right on.  -- jim k, Austin
jim, if the last sentence is isolated, I absolutely agree with the whole of your comment. Thought control is a copyright of totalitarianism, and we, the individual sovereigns (in person and/or in concert) with intact inalienable rights and liberty have no claim to it.  -- Mike, Norwalk
You are not to think recklessly, you must think productive organization and productive organizing.  -- Fredrick William Sillik, Anytown      1
