Paraphrasing T. Jefferson: "If a nation expects to be borderless and free, in a state of civilization, it expects what never was and never will be."

Sort of like the old saying, Fences make good neighbors.

Mr. Jefferson's intent was to promote universal education (I changed the focus of the quote).

"If a nation expects to be ignorant and free, in a state of civilization, it expects what never was and never will be." - Thomas Jefferson
