Because we fear the responsibility for our actions, we have allowed ourselves to develop the mentality of slaves. Contrary to the stirring sentiments of the Declaration of Independence, we now pledge "our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor" not to one another for our mutual protection, but to the state, whose actions continue to exploit, despoil, and destroy us ~ Butler D. Shaffer
"We must all hang together, or assuredly we shall all hang separately." Benjamin Franklin, at the signing of the Declaration of Independence, July 4, 1776 ----- Original Message ----- From: Scott Bergeson To: undisclosed-recipients: Sent: Thursday, August 20, 2009 10:43 AM Subject: [LPUtah] RESPONSIBILITY From: Richard Partridge <[email protected]> Responsibility, not to a superior, but to one's conscience, the awareness of a duty not exacted by compulsion, the necessity to decide which of the things one values are to be sacrificed to others, and to bear the consequences of one's own decision, are the very essence of any morals which deserve the name. - Friedrich A.
