spirited intention of tho e who
continually encroach upon our
God-given rights.
The Declaration of Inde­
pendence tours a system of con­
flict re olution (law and order)
which is grounded in the prin­
ciple that codes of behavior
(laws) mu t have univer al ap­
peal and moral authority. Im­
plicit is the reasonable idea that
those making and upholding
laws cannot be above the law.
Nevertheles , the Con titution
and Bill of Rights pay lip ervice
to justice for all while consis­
tently offering legal interpreta­
tions that guarantee the
supremacy of the fickle opinion
of a powerful few in the search
for right and wrong ..
FREEDOM OF th \fSh d

change of ideas and opinions
aren't re erved for the m jority
in democracy. While the
m jority rule, minoritie h ve
right. We have the right to
resi t other who act a judge
and jury of our be t interest,
reducing our live and activitie
to empty vehicle that con tant­
ly pin their wheel , yet go
nowhere fa 1.
Much a the Engler ad-
mini tr tion ha no problem
with sacrificing the poor and
powerle lo the greed and un­
fair advantage of other, o, too,
does late law have no intention
of doing the right thing in
Carter' ca e without pressure
from concerned, caring citizens.
Carter will not be the only
who benefit from our deter­
mination. Our elf-e teem, the
pirit of our community, and the
mora"he :lth lof thi tare hd na­
tion shali benefit, much like all
of South Africa reaped the
reward of M ndela' freedom.
A long anyone of u c n

State effort to brutalize u

countered with much more than
a decision to ta e it to the poll ,
turning the ra cal out t the
