| I Do Not Choose To Be A Common Man It is my right to be uncommon...if I can. I seek opportunity...not security. I do not wish to be a kept citizen, humbled and dulled by having the state look after me. I want to take the calculated risk; to dream and to build, to fail and to succeed. I refuse to barter incentive for a dole. I prefer the challenges of life to the guaranteed existence; the thrill of fulfillment to the stale calm of utopia. I will not trade freedom for beneficence nor my dignity for a handout. I will never cower before any master nor bend to any threat. It is my heritage to stand erect, proud and unafraid; to think and act for myself; enjoy the benefits of my creations and to face the world boldly and say, this I have done. All this is what it means to be an American. Thomas Paine circa 1776 A great Founding Father's immortal words, describing the very essence of capitalism, are beautifully etched on a solid oak 9x12 inch plaque. This Creed motivates and builds the individual spirit that makes America great. $39 plus $4 s&h; add 5% in Maryland. Send check to: "Thomas Paine" P.O.
