“Give me liberty or give me death!”      Patrick Henry

If we selected the most intelligent, the most creative and the most compassionate of humankind all races would be present. If the culture nurtures these qualities they can blossom into a luxurious peaceful society. If the opposite selection were made of humankind, those with the herd mentality, the most destructive, the most blood thirsty again all races would be present.

As an American woman, I understand that without the freedom granted me, I would have a very different life. I am tremendously grateful to be allowed to live a life as a participant in the world as opposed to most of the women throughout human existence who lived a life of servitude and bondage.
