This isn’t a political battle as such. It’s a spiritual battle to remove the rule of conscience – the hammer used on the anvil of any good. Free speech is the essential liberty, the cornerstone without which every other human freedom becomes merely a whim…

“Every spot of the old world is overrun with oppression. Freedom hath been hunted round the globe. Asia, and Africa, have long expelled her. Europe regards her like a stranger, and England hath given her warning to depart. O! receive the fugitive, and prepare in time an asylum for mankind.” Thomas Paine, Common Sense.

“They speak tough and carry no stick. They lie to you and tell you it’s a ham sandwich, not the cow patty it obviously is.”

“We need to teach our sons that a woman is not the same as a man and that they are to be honored and respected because of that – not dishonored by expecting them to fulfill their role and ours too.”

They can come to us as revolutionary events – or even a dandelion.
