"I Do Not Choose 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 calculated risk; to dream and to build,
to fail and to succeed. I refuse to barter incentive for a dole. I prefer the challanges of life to the guaranteed
existence; the thrill of fulfillment to the state of 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 for myself, enjoy the benefits of my creations and to face the world boldly and say, this
is what I've done. All this is what it means to be an American.

Thomas Paine from his book: "Common Sense", circa, 1700's
