Quote for today

I suppose not much has changed over the course of history, and I'm not the first to notice that. But look at how this quote from Henry David Thoreau in Civil Disobedience applies to what we're seeing in the government today.

“Must the citizen ever for a moment, or in the least degree, resign his conscience to the legislator? Why has every man a conscience then? I think that we should be men first, and subjects afterward. It is not desirable to cultivate a respect for the law, so much as for the right.”

Then again, how does this apply today with secular humanism's strangle hold on education and all three branches of government? A citizen can no longer rely on his or her conscience, because that conscience has been conditioned to operate on a subjective level. The power of conscience has been subtly defeated. We no longer rely on an objective, and omnipotent God to define our conscience. As a result we MUST resign to the legislator. We are subjects, no longer men.
