John Adams (second President of the United States): "Liberty cannot be preserved without a general knowledge among the people, who have a right and a desire to know; but besides this, they have a right, an indisputable, unalienable, indefeasible, divine right to know that most dreaded and envied kind of knowledge, I mean of the characters and conduct of their rulers" (Graham Hancock: http://grahamhancock.com/phorum/read.php?2,364853,364853 ).
