Guns

Oleg Volk
"
This man with a gun is a coward
Who'd rather retreat than fight
He shrinks from violent conflict
And fears enemy's might

His wife is a skittish woman
Who'd rather be safe than right
She carries a gun with reluctance
Disliking its very sight

These two who might shake in fear
On perceiving a credible threat
Would fight for each other and children
Retreating not by a step

They fear and yet they conquer
The fear that evil spreads
They like their weapons little
But they cherish what guns protect"

Government

Patriot Post

"Government is instituted for the common good; for the protection, safety, prosperity, and happiness of the people; and not for profit, honor, or private interest of any one man, family, or class of men; therefore, the people alone have an incontestable, unalienable, and indefeasible right to institute government; and to reform, alter, or totally change the same, when their protection, safety, prosperity, and happiness require it."

--John Adams, Thoughts on Government, 1776
