“When you expand the civil-rights struggle to the level of human rights, you can then take the case of the black man in this country before the nations in the UN. You can take it before the General Assembly. You can take Uncle Sam before a world court. But the only level you can do it on is the level of human rights. Civil rights keeps you under his restrictions, under his jurisdiction. Civil rights keeps you in his pocket.” MenWorldHumansCountryNationsBlackCan DoLevelsCasesStruggleRightsCourtHuman RightsCivil RightsPocketsUnclesYou Can Do ItRestrictionAssemblyJurisdictionUncle SamGeneral Assembly Author:Malcolm X
“In the nineteenth century some parts of the world were unexplored, but there was almost no restriction on travel.:; Up to 1914 you did not need a passport for any country except Russia.:; The European emigrant, if he could scrape together a few pounds for the passage, simply set sail for America or Australia, and when he got there no questions were asked.:; In the eighteenth century it had been quite normal and safe to travel in a country with which your own country was at war.” IfsWorldNeedsWarCountryTogetherAmericaCenturySafeNormalRussiaAustraliaPoundsPassagesSailRestrictionNineteenth CenturyPassportsUnexplored Book:The Collected Essays, Journalism, and Letters of George Orwell: As I please, 1943-1945 Source: The Collected Essays, Journalism, and Letters of George Orwell: As I please, 1943-1945

“Antigun advocates have always faced an uphill battle in this country. Americans have, to begin with, a constitutional right to gun ownership. Today, half of American households exercise this right, owning a total of about 250 million guns; and over 99 percent of those households do so in a responsible manner. To fight for major restrictions on an item that plays such a valued part in the lives of so many people looks like a nearly impossible task. So if you're really committed to the effort, and you want to win, what do you do? Simple: You lie.” PeopleIfsWantLooksCountryPlayTodayLyingFightingWinningSimpleEffortHalfMillionsImpossibleExerciseBattleMajorsPercentGunTasksResponsibleCommittedHouseholdOwnershipItemsRestrictionUphill BattlesGun Ownership Author:Dave Kopel
