      "The deliberations of the Constitutional Convention of 1787 were held in strict secrecy. Consequently, anxious citizens gathered outside Independence Hall when the proceedings ended in order to learn what had been produced behind closed doors. The answer was provided immediately. A Mrs. Powel of Philadelphia asked Benjamin Franklin, 'Well, Doctor, what have we got, a republic or a monarchy?' With no hesitation whatsoever, Franklin responded, 'A republic, madam, if you can keep it.'" - Benjamin Franklin

Another one from Ben "Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." ~Benjamin Franklin And one more: No one is free when others are oppressed. ~Author Unknown
  • I don't give it any thought to it because I take it for granted. I've never lived in any other environment that didn't provide liberty and fteedom. I can't imagine not having it and I appreciate our military and law enforcement keeping it that way.
  • I think it would be a good idea.
