[Osborn F Enready]

One more reason I observe, understand and exercise my rights regularly.

The Constitution "enumerates" our rights, but I am responsible for defending and exercising my own.

Remember the term "the buck stops here"? Every citizen needs to understand that "the buck" stops with them. The amount of rights you lose, depends on the amount you let be taken from you.
In the end, you have only yourself to blame, and that is why I try to be honest to myself, my ambitions and my expectations. A man who isn't honest with himself, can't be honest to anyone, since he does not understand the value of honesty, nor does he respect its virtues.

Regardless of how the laws change, how the system changes, or how the power structure changes, I will always reserve the right to live a free man, or die in that pursuit.

Great post Steve, and I wish more people would take it to heart, as well as start to question just where all of this is leading.
