Ben Franklin on inoculation, after his son died from smallpox.
“In 1736, I lost one of my sons, a fine boy of four years old, by the small-pox, taken in the common way. I long regretted bitterly, and still regret that I had not given it to him by inoculation”.

"Generally speaking, American conservatives prioritize liberty over equality. They understand liberty as a set of privileges; a major part of the value of liberty comes from the fact that others are denied those privileges. Equality is an inherent threat to liberty." – Hattem, The Memory of '76
