"What does this quote mean to you? Do you agree with it? Or disagree with it?"

"A nation of well informed men who have been taught to know and prize the rights which God has given them cannot be enslaved. It is in the region of ignorance that tyranny begins."

Rather straight forward.

Men who know and value freedom strive to keep that freedom.

Those that do not care, or are indifferent about that most basic of human rights, and others, become enslaved.

I couldn't agree more.

"A nation of well informed men who have been taught to know and prize the rights which God has given them cannot be enslaved. It is in the region of ignorance that tyranny begins."

This qoute should be the tale of two continents, Africa and North America, because the description couldn't be more apt. One promotes tyranny through ignorance and voilence and the other freedom.

I believe you just defined the followers of the democratic party.

I basically agree with it, only "being taught" may not be
quite enough. There may have to be a generation from time to time that has to face the loss of freedom to a tyrant and repel that imminent threat in order for freedom to
remain viable in a society.

And take the rest of us with them.
