who is willing to sink
Half his present repute

And, when he has thought,
be his cause strong or weak
Will risk t’ other half
for the freedom to speak.”

SOOO SELFISH!

Yes bonnie, you do live in la la land.

And for the support of this declaration. with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor. The Declaration of Independence.
