“Once you've given something away, history has shown, that whatever you gave, is rarely given back voluntarely. Remember, 'something' includes your right to eat what you like, say what you think, go where you please or choose to associate with. Thus when it is suggested you hand over something that belongs to you, always ask yourself wheter it is worth the risk of never getting it back.”

In other words, each citizen must become a living constitution unto themselves, with the emphasis on living, which means ever-evolving and never-rigid.
