Hyperbolic Dramatization of the Day
1776: "Then it's agreed, gentlemen, in order to secure our rights as a free people, we will risk embarrassment, imprisonment, expropriation, bankruptcy, bodily harm, exile and hanging."
2010: "Of course I'll waive my rights. I don't want to miss my connecting flight."

A heartfelt "thank you" for your last few posts. Excellent.
The threat has never been that our rights would be "taken," but that we might eventually forget their true worth and freely give them away...
Where did you find that quote? To whom is it attributed?
