No I will not. Nobody has complained until now, you.
“Live Free or Die” is the motto of the U.S. state of New Hampshire. It is on thier license plates for cry’in out loud.
Also Patrick Henry’s famed March 23, 1775 speech: “Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!”
I truly believe in these statements; it is how I feel and I suspect most people here feel the same way.
“No I will not. Nobody has complained until now, you.”
Sorry, I did not mean to offend, was referring to this “In 1977, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in the case of Wooley v. Maynard, 430 U.S. 705, that New Hampshire could not prosecute motorists who chose to hide part or all of the motto. That ruling came about because George Maynard, a Jehovah’s Witness, cut off “or die” from his plate. He found the phrase offensive because according to his faith, Jehovah’s Kingdom offers everlasting life and it would be contrary to that belief to die for an earthly government. He was convicted of breaking a state law against altering license plates”
I am well aware of the sentiments of the motto, and I share them. I also like my state’s motto (two actually), 1) Dum spiro spero (While I breathe, I hope) 2) Animis opibusque parati (Ready in soul and resource). The two, at least to me, seem to go together like faith and works, both of them are necessary. Sometime, even my friends don’t know how to take me, I’ve always had that problem.
