Let Freedom Ring?

It has to start somewhere. Somebody has to say, "Enough!" Not because anyone else will or won't say it, but because it needs to be said. No one said "Enough!" when they came to take away the Jews. No one says "Enough!" as we enslave the poor and weak. No one says "Enough!" to anything that harms us.

We only say "Enough!" to our conscience.

So please, do not go on record. Be like the silent Germans who didn't want to make waves. Be like the CEOs who smile as they kill. Mock those who stand against the winds of woe. It is not I who will judge you, but history. That said, I already think you're a dick.

I understand you don't believe you deserve freedom. Demand it anyway. I understand you fear to claim your life. Live it anyway. I understand you question your judgement. Trust it anyway. Life first, all else second. You won't be popular, you won't be loved, you won't be praised. What you will be is alive.
