    | "Godfrey R. Gauld (The Capital, Aug. 25) makes a strong case for arms as a natural right and as the 'foundation upon which all other rights are based.' And the extent to which our elected representatives flail away at this fundamental right should alarm us."

    | Dear Arnold: 
 You are thinking it to death. This nation was founded upon the precept that all humans are endowed by their Creator with fundamental, unalienable rights.
 
 Unalienable. Rights.
 
 End of discussion.

                      | A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. ~ Marcus Tullius Cicero (42B.C) |  |  |
