"I am by birth a free Commoner of England, and am thereby intailed or intituled unto an equall priviledge with your selfe, or the greatest men in England, unto the freedome and liberty of the Lawes of England."

(Exerpt from 'The Secret Government', Bill Moyers 1987 documentary, focusing on the Iran-Contra arms and drug-running operations)
