“We're not citizens anymore. We're consumers. That's what we're called. It's just like being an alcoholic and being in denial that you're an alcoholic.

“Virginia States' rights, as our forefathers conceived it, was a protection of the right of the individual citizen. Those who preach most frequently about states' rights today are not those seeking the protection of the individual citizen, but his exploitation. The time is long past — if indeed it ever existed — when we should permit the noble concept of states' rights to be betrayed.” IfsShouldHumansLongStatesTodayPastIndividualRightsCitizensConceptsHuman RightsSeekingProtectionNobleCivil RightsDenialPermitExploitationBetrayedSlogansForefathersStates Rights Author:Robert Kennedy
