I got a letter from the government, the other day
I opened and read it, it said they were suckers
They wanted me for their army or whatever
Picture me giving a damn
I said ‘never!
They could not understand that I’m a black man and I could never be a veteran!

Declaration of Independence
When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

The pioneers of a warless world are the youth that refuse military service.
Benjamin Franklin, Historical Review of Pennsylvania, 1759
Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.
Thomas Jefferson
If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation and then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all property until their children wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered.
