"As we act, let us not become the evil that we deplore."
.....as quoted by Barbara Lee, D from Cali. on 9-20-01 prior to casting the lone dissenting vote to S.J. 23, giving the "President" a free hand to attack "terrorists" anywhere he saw fit.
"The spirit of 1776 is not dead. It has only been slumbering. ...But their (the American peoples) virtuous feelings have been played on by some fact with more fiction; they have been the dupes of artful maneuvers, and made for a moment to be willing instruments in forging chains for themselves. But times and truth dissipated the delusion, and opened their eyes." --Thomas Jefferson to Thomas Lomax, 1799. ME 10:123
