| Message | We'll support. Forcing someone to do something doesn't make them like doing it. It means much, much more if they do it on their own. |

| Message | And the thing is, with that clause, it makes it completely voluntary. Forcing them to sing it doesn't make them good citizens. |

| Random quote: "Who are the militia? Are they not ourselves? Is it feared, then, that we shall turn our arms each man gainst his own bosom. Congress have no power to disarm the militia. Their swords, and every other terrible implement of the soldier, are the birthright of an American...[T]he unlimited power of the sword is not in the hands of either the federal or state governments, but, where I trust in God it will ever remain, in the hands of the people." - Tenche Coxe |
