    Greetings,

    I could not resist to write this one down that I read in my Rifleman magazine:

    'Freedom is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch. Freedom is a well-armed shhep contesting the vote."

    Thank you

    I believe you need to replace a "freedom" with a "liberty" ;)

    Greetings,

    Oups! Even after reading myself back, I mixed up the words. It is written exactly like that on page 12, september issue of American rifleman:

    "Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch. Freedom is a well armed sheep contesting the vote."

    Than you

    One of my favorites. It is actually inscribed on the Statue of Liberty:

    They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.
    ---Benjamin Franklin, Historical Review of Pennsylvania, 1759.
