The cheapest price for liberty

Written by Al Barger
Published April 14, 2003

Just ran across a quote that I found interesting concerning the radical pre-Civil War abolitionist John Brown, who was hanged as a supposed traitor. Apply it to current situations wherever you think it fits.

John Brown taught us that the cheapest price to pay for liberty is its cost today.
-WEB DuBois

Unreformed hawkish Hoosier hillbilly and sometimes candidate Al Barger runs the still squeezin' down the psychodelic Kentucky moonshine at MoreThings.com, what with the paranoid religious visions and the Pentacostal music and visions of God and anarchy running amok and such. Somebody oughta call the cops to report his out of control freedom of conscience. Till they come to take him away somewhere where he can't hurt anyone else, you can check out his weekly column of NEW ALBUM RELEASES.
