Liberty Quote of the Week

I'm starting some weekly posts just to keep the blog flowing while I'm working on bigger articles.  I'll start with the Liberty Quote of the Week, but I'm also going to do a weekly Sign of the Apocalypse post and on Fridays I'll do a Prediction and Synopsis on college football.  I'm coming up with some other ideas; I'm taking ideas as well so feel free to comment with any.  My first Liberty Quote of the Week is my personal favorite from my favorite author, Ralph Waldo Emerson:

"For what avail the plough or sail, or land or life, if freedom fail?" - Ralph Waldo Emerson
