Well, you used them for comparisons. I'd like to know how they compare, yes. That's fair, isn't it? Using your examples?

What do you think about Jefferson? "I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them." "The earth belongs to the living, not to the dead." "To compel a man to furnish funds for the propagation of ideas he disbelieves and abhors is sinful and tyrannical. " "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. " "We may consider each generation as a distinct nation, with a right, by the will of its majority, to bind themselves, but none to bind the succeeding generation, more than the inhabitants of another country." "Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add 'within the limits of the law' because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual."
