However, since I am not a U.S. citizen, I am told to mind my own business a lot, while I constantly am regarded as a foreigner in what I thought is my homeland. I do not have identity crisis; I know exactly who I am. I just need to endure life-time solitude and hostile segregation everywhere I go as a result. Nobody likes to be singled out as a pariah and a degenerate that the state determined ought to be purged thoroughly along with my whole family. Wisdom from Jefferson provides a little relief from confronting constantly against my current plights and future mandate.

• “The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.”
• “Dissent is the highest form of patriotism.”
• “An educated citizenry is a vital requisite for our survival as a free people.”
• “The price of liberty is eternal vigilance.”
• “A democracy is nothing more than mob rule, where fifty-one percent of the people may take away the rights of the other forty-nine.”
• “If we are to guard against ignorance and remain free, it is the responsibility of every American (human) to be informed.”
• “Information is the currency of democracy.”
• “The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government.”
• “No freeman shall ever be debarred the use of arms.”
• “Malo periculosam, libertatem quam quietam servitutem.”  (I prefer dangerous freedom over peaceful slavery.)
• “If a law is unjust, a man is not only right to disobey it, he is obligated to do so.”
