TO BE A COMMON MAN
It is my right to be uncommon
... if I can. I seek opportunity ...
not security. I do not wish to be a kept
citizen, humbled and dulled by having
the state look after me. I want to take the
calculated risk; to dream and to build, to
fail and to succeed. I refuse to barter incen-
tive for a dole. I prefer the challengesof life
to the guaranteed existence; the thrill of ful-
fillment to the stale calm of utopia. I will
not trade freedom for beneficence nor my
dignity for a handout. I will never cower
before any master nor bend to any threat.
It is my heritage to stand erect, proud
and unafraid; to think and act for my-
self; enjoy the benefits of my creations
and to face the world boldly and
say, this I have done. All this
is what it means to be
an American.
