I have never taken away lessons from school so much as memorized and forgotten them. You get a grade and move on. But as for you, you have shaped my life and given me something i can truly take with me, yes you branded into my brain the constitution, bill of rights, history in general but i took away so much more than that. I can look at you and see a man of passion and knowledge, you inspire every single person you meet to do better, be better. You bring out the good that we all should have, and you remind us that a single person can make such a huge difference. I hope all is well with you and that the strength of this earth can carry you on your journey. <br />Remember this: <br />" Not all that wander are lost"<br />also, i would love to sit down and have a good,warm conversation about your adventures and ideas with when you return.<br />-MichelleMichelle Reentshttp://www.facebook.com/home.php#!/profile.php?id=100000567606765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3220892507406253673.post-61360156984026942402010-07-16T01:49:24.820-07:002010-07-16T01:49:24.820-07:00I would have liked to talk to him.

I always want to learn more about them from someone who is actually IN that religion.<br /><br />Keep up the good work Mr. Brown!<br /><br />-Margaret HibdonEmber4501https://www.blogger.com/profile/16155495906802081502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3220892507406253673.post-64487369452801012382010-07-14T19:50:11.107-07:002010-07-14T19:50:11.107-07:00Mr Brown: As a lover of liberty, your chance encou...Mr Brown: As a lover of liberty, your chance encounter with a Jehovah's Witness (as I am) was fitting. As you are probably aware, this religious minority has done more to define and preserve our civil rights than any other group (see Wikipedia quote below). The U.S. Supreme Court has reviewed over 70 cases involving Jehovah’s Witnesses, two thirds of which were decided in their favor. <br /><br />Chris Scheck, Brooklyn NY scheck.c@gmail.com<br /><br />Wikipedia says: "In the United States and several other countries, the legal struggles of the Jehovah's Witnesses have yielded some of the most important judicial decisions regarding freedom of religion, press and speech. The resulting litigation has helped to define civil liberties case law in the United States and in most Western societies.[1]<br /><br />Former Supreme Court Justice Harlan Stone jokingly suggested "The Jehovah's Witnesses ought to have an endowment in view of the aid which they give in solving the legal problems of civil liberties."[2] <br /><br />"Like it or not," observed American author and editor Irving Dilliard, "Jehovah's Witnesses have done more to help preserve our freedoms than any other religious group."<br /><br />Before the Jehovah's Witnesses brought several dozen cases before the Supreme Court of the United States during the 1930s and 1940s, the Court had handled few cases contesting laws that restricted freedom of speech and freedom of religion. Until then, the First Amendment had only been applied to acts of Congress and more broadly to acts of the federal government."<br />http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jehovah's_Witnesses_and_civil_liberties_in_the_United_StatesUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13808274305144868610noreply@blogger.com
