Child be Free.
You know, you know,
little boy, little girl, 
that you are not little. 
Child be Free. 
Be Free from the tyranny. 
Be Free from the treachery and all the bigotry.
Be Free child, Be Free.
You know, You know you are made to be. 
Child, be Free.
---Chris Backus, 2009---


John F. Kennedy said "The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie -- deliberate, contrived and dishonest -- but the myth -- persistent, persuasive and unrealistic."

Voltaire said "As long as people believe in absurdities, they will continue to commit atrocities."

Martin Luther King, Jr. said "Cowardice asks the question: is it safe? Expediency asks the question: is it political? Vanity asks the question: is it popular? But conscience asks the question: is it right? And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor political, nor popular - but one must take it simply because it is right."
