"When we got organized as a country and we wrote a fairly radical Constitution with a radical Bill of Rights, giving a radical amount of individual freedom to Americans, it was assumed that the Americans who had that freedom would use it responsibly... However, now there's a lot of irresponsibility. And so a lot of people say there's too much freedom. When personal freedom's being abused, you have to move to limit it."President Bill Clinton on MTV on Patriots Day, 1994 (the day that recognizes the battle of Lexington, when colonists fought the British over efforts to confiscate powder and ball ... a.k.a. gun control)
I somehow think Clinton does not like freedom, hmmm. Do you think his speech was appropriate though for that occasion? heh. [This message has been edited by Spartacus (edited October 12, 2000).] IP: 24.237.58.18 |
