You got the treatment for telling it how you saw it.
And you didn't back down.
From anyone.
You are the real deal, 1776Forever.

"I hope that no American will waste his franchise and throw away his vote by voting either for me or against me solely on account of my religious affiliation. It is not relevant."

President Kennedy thought the artist to be vital for creating the best of nations.

"I see little of more importance to the future of our country and of civilization than full recognition of the place of the artist. If art is to nourish the roots of our culture, society must set the artist free to follow his vision wherever it takes him."

Like you, JFK was a real writer, too:

"We must never forget that art is not a form of propaganda, it is a form of truth."

Here's another one:

A man may die, nations may rise and fall, but an idea lives on.

PS: A most hearty welcome to DU, 1776Forever. Thank you for your oustanding story. I will never forget it.
