Thomas Jefferson Quote

"Yet the hour of emancipation is advancing ...
this enterprise is for the young;
for those who can follow it up,
and bear it through to it's consummation.
It shall have all my prayers, and
these are the only weapons of an old man."

Defending Freedom is an everlasting responsibility to uphold.  It starts with an intention, followed by a commitment.  Vigilance is the way.  -- E Archer, NYC      1
I often point out the tyranny, usurpation and loss of liberty and rights within man’s cruelty to man BUT, my heart remains optimistic. I do believe that: “Yet the hour of emancipation is advancing”. I too pray while, prayer is yet one in many blessings still available to me in my battle for my brothers and sisters peace, rights and liberty at nature’s law.  -- Mike, Norwalk      1
This is not the address or quote of a man. This was a quote of an immature child, for he was not old and so we are in need of the finely honed experience of a well versed challenger and the experience of a highly trained humanitarian to show us the way to freedom or anything that matters. We should not get old, we should get better.   -- Fredrick William Sillik, Anytown      2
Is appears in my observations that we don't die of old age, none of us, we just get murdered by the conventional system.   -- Fredrick William Sillik, Anytown      2
Disgusting and disrespectful.  Jefferson was 71 when he wrote this after stewarding the first free republic based upon the natural-born rights of man in recorded history.  He was wiser at 27 years old when he wrote the Declaration of Independence than you'll ever be, Fred.  Shameful.  -- E Archer, NYC
Mr Archer, When you're taken into formal slavery and forced to be someone's carnal servant than we will be more eye to eye in our, so to speak,  discussion.  I wish to avoid the plight of Ms Hemmings.  My understanding of contemporary marriage should make you experienced on the subject from my studious observations. You most likely suffer from a type of Stockholm Syndrome.  Mr Jefferson did you little assistance. I, you're friend wish you, not an imitation, but a real life. I am not ashamed of that mission.  -- Fredrick William Sillik, Anytown
