Newspeak

Newspeak is "ungood", which means "bad" in Newspeak.

Civil Disobedience by Henry David Thoreau

I strongly agree with the words, "The best government is the one that controls things the least."  I would soon like to see less government control over many things.  If those words are taken seriously, what they actually mean is, "The best government is the one that controls nothing."  I also believe these words to be true.  And, when people are ready for it, that will be the kind of government which they will have.^[1]

Common Sense by Thomas Paine

Society is always a good thing.  Government is, at best, a necessary evil.  Government is, at worst, an evil that should not be accepted.  When government causes people to experience pain or other bad things which they may think they might experience even without a government, people feel even worse because they can think about how it is government doing these things to cause pain or other bad things.^[2]

Benjamin Franklin

Those who would give up necessary freedom to buy a little safety, deserve neither freedom nor safety.^[3]

Give Me Liberty of Give Me Death by Patrick Henry

Let me have freedom or end my life.^[4]
