"Freedom is never more than one
generation away from extinction. We
didn't pass it to our children in the
bloodstream. It must be fought for,
protected, and handed on for them to
do the same, or one day we will spend
our sunset years telling our children
and our children's children what it
was once like in the United States
where men were free. "
Ronald Reagan
