Athenians come to the aid of your fellow city states!  No.  I rest
my case.  Some would say today's problem is not freedom, but what
isn't imposed that people can only impose on themselves.

"I will write my law on the hearts of men, not on stone."

"Give unborn women their rights!"

"You are the tabernacle, not some tent."

"As a lesbian and a muslim, I won't pursue a civil union because
I believe marriage needs to stay between a man and a woman."

"Think not what your country can do for you, think what can I do
for my country."
