"So long as the people do not care to exercise their freedom, those who wish to tyrannize will do so; for tyrants are active and ardent, and will devote themselves in the name of any number of gods, religious and otherwise, to put shackles upon sleeping men."

I LOVE Gettysburg. You can just feel the history and all the intensity that occured here.Great photo!
WELL SAID, and oh so true. Standing strong against the encroachment of tyranny... that's our duty, and one we take on gladly.
AMEN! I wish more people would take Voltaire's words to heart.
I am so frustrated at people believing that it will "just go away" if they ignore what is going on.
Apathy is rampant and as such, Voltaire's quote is coming to pass, I fear.
Gettysburg ~ one of my very favorite places in the United States of America. :o)
