Poor Richard's Government



Just when you thought it was safe to get back onto the Internet.

This girl was hanged in Iran for talking back to an Islamic judge. She was on trial
for having committed adultery. Her crime was telling the judge that she should be allowed to speak. Her name was Atefeh Rajabi, and she died for the cause of freedom. She was 16 years old.

How many people left in this country would do the same? For the want of ten.....

Benjamin Franklin said it best:

Any society that would give up a little liberty to gain a little security will deserve neither and lose both.

And the clock is ticking.

And remember, when all hope seems lost, what he also wrote:

Rebellion against tyrants is obedience to God.

:: Do what you think is right, and let no one fault you.

Rev. Dr. D
