LIBERTY FREEDOM BY J. EDGAR HOOVER We can never know or fully appreciate the hardships and grievances of the courageous men who in 1776 signed the Declaration of Independence. But I think many present-day Americans, in viewing the tragic conflict and lawlessness in our society, can feel something of their concern and anxiety for the cause of liberty and freedom under law. We owe a great debt to our Founding Fathers who were willing to sacrifice all for the right to establish a system of self-government in which men and women would have a choice and a part. Because of their valiant efforts, today we live in a Nation which offers Its citizens more equality, more justice, more freedom, and a greater opportunity to pursue happiness than ever provided by any other system in recorded history. The privileges we share as Americans are not available to all people. Millions of people living under oppressive and tyrannical governments cannot understand the unrest and turbu lence In our communities. They long for a concept of living which provides the ideals and principles of self-government. Unfortunately, many Americans today have become so accustomed to our inherited rights that they tend to take them for granted. They want and demand the privileges of a free society, but they do not want to be bothered with the attendant responsibilities. They shrink from duty and service. Our system of freedom and justice is not, as some people seem to believe, a system under which they get what they want and do as they please without any regard for the rights of others. Under our rule of law and democratic process, all citizens are entitled to the same rights and freedoms and the same opportunity to progress, each according to his own ability. Likewise, liberty is not a license to choose which laws will be obeyed and which will be ignored. If we are to fulfill the visions of our forefathers, we must remember that lawful process is the only means a free people should use to resolve differences and effect changes. Certainly, we must never downgrade the constitutional safe guards of dissent and petition. These and other rights of expression are vital to our existence as a free society. On the other hand, we must not permit the abuse of these safeguards by dissidents who unlawfully force their will upon the majority of citizens. The truth is all Americans, if they choose to be objective, have far more reason to praise than criticize our Nation. As we commemorate our independence, let us renew our faith and pride in our country. Let us make patriotism a common virtue. Let us acknowledge the abundant blessings we share, and let us remember that every privilege has a related responsibility.
