32. Ben Franklin would put him in his place with this quote
From Benjamin Franklin

This quotation, slightly altered, is inscribed on a plaque in the stairwell of the pedestal of the Statue of Liberty: “They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.”

(My favorite from ol Ben is "Beer is proof God loves us and wants us to be happy !' Too bad I can't 'stike a blow for liberty' as Truman would say or I'd invite you over ! Carry on RP, good show !)
