Pressure to Change

“In a free society there is always pressure to change it and make people less free. Leaders either move to the right with fascism or move to the left with socialism. In both cases, these movements meet at a dystopian place called collectivism. Ultimately it is about subjugation and taking away individual rights, liberties and freedoms and handing them to an elite few.”
--Jeffrey Fry

Right as a Man

“Whatever is my right as a man is also the right of another; and it becomes my duty to guarantee as well as to possess.”

Any Power

“The only thing that should be upheld at all costs and without qualification is the right of free expression, because if that goes, then so do all other claims of right as well.”
--Christopher Hitchens

Liberty's Duty

“Liberty is not the power of doing what we like, but the right of being able to do what we ought.“

--Thomas Paine
