Talk:Kanwar Pal Singh Gill

This page contains a quote which is not attributed. It needs an author stated.

Lacking that it looks like it was just made up to get a false perspective across by someone unwilling to stand behind his words. To bad such drivel got quoted here.

The writers of this page are right! Whoever said the quote is an idiot, it is, as you say just so much rubbish. Or a crock of…odure, as someone translated Guru Nanak's words concerning the Jains. Probably made up by someone to get his point across, actually the exact opposite is true as defence by force of arms is part and parcel of the laws that assure the Self evident truths that were only made self evident first in the minds of the men who framed the docuement (we call them Patriots--the British called them revolutionaries) and then on a piece of paper called the:

Declaration of Independance:

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.

Americans (liberals and conservatives) know that such freedoms must be defended once established. You can be sure that is what the army is for. richard
