Harris Quote “We have not passed that subtle line between childhood and adulthood until we move from the passive voice to the active voice -- that is, until we have stopped saying, "It got lost," and say, "I lost it.” ~ Sydney J. Harris Responsibility , Truth , Virtue , Children Ratings and Comments Reply Mike, Norwalk 5/30/14 I like it, a lot. I haven't lost inalienable rights, the application of natural or common law, justice administration or the freedom that was once guaranteed, for I am still in the battle. Reply Ron w13, Or 5/30/14 Take responsibility. You have to get lost to get saved. What are these, inalienable rights ? Then I was taught my rights and thrown in the water to swim. Saved as long as I keep swimming and sharing the knowledge of being free and set at liberty. Reply Bob Leavitt, Charlotte, VT 5/30/14 But two words are needed ( the egotistical subscriber said ):INDIVIDUAL and RESPONSIBILITY.
