If good men are found to be weak, what then? If we do not possess the ability to resist, who then stands up? Who then stands ready?

Do we then plunge into a second dark age where there are rulers and subjects? Must we again await the spark that is the spirit of man willing to do anything to be free? Must we wait in chains and bear the great cost of lives and progress when we have already thus far so nobly advanced?

How dare we so poorly and frivolously invest the spent blood of the brave men before us? What foolish stupor have we allowed ourselves to slip into? What vestige of nearsighted apathy have we so aimlessly dawned?
