I must have missed something here...which essential liberties did Omni-tek employees give up in signing their contracts?Originally posted by Aknar
They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.
Therefore thinking men cannot side with the promices of Omni-Tek
Agreed, there is no progress without struggle. Of course, there is quite a bit of struggling without progress. Why do you support that?The whole history of the progress of human liberty shows that all concessions yet made to her august claims have been born of earnest struggle. If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet deprecate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground, they want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters
Look at the results of some clans struggling against the Council of Truth. Tir is run by a murderous despot, the Tir accord has been annulled, and Omni-tek claims authority to patrol the entire planet. This is progress? Who has shown that they "can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety?"
Let's see...we're denied the freedom to visit our friends and relatives in Tir on pain of death, by Simon Silverstone.Fight and you may die. Run and you'll live, at least a while. And, dying in your beds, many years from now, would you be willing to trade all the days from this day to that for one chance -- just one chance -- to come back here and tell our enemies, that they may take our lives, but they'll never take our freedom!
Until it is time to fight against the Clans for our freedom we must fight with them....
I have to wonder how wise you are in asking me to join the fight, when you so clearly are not to be considered as an ally.
