"The very atmosphere of firearms anywhere and everywhere restrains evil interference and they deserve a place of honor with all that is good."
--George Washington
"Individualism has come in for an enormous amount of criticism over the years. It still does. It is widely assumed to be synonymous with selfishness...But the main reason why so many people in power have always disliked individualism is because it is individualists who are ever keenest to prevent the abuse of authority."
-- Margaret Thatcher
