Paul Revere is the symbol of warning, ready to ride down the skies to shout in the lawn. His destination now and forever, freedom. Suppose a man wants a place to live, a house to shelter his family.
Well he takes wood, brick and shingles or other materials and puts them together in a certain shape, according to his own civilization, his own heritage. This may mean the house will be a camel's skin tent in the Sahara, a brush-covered platform along the Congo, or perhaps a sod hut overlooking the Grand Canyon.
In a more complex civilization such as ours, it may mean a towering structure honeycomb with dwelling units, a mansion of stone, sediment flowering shrubs, or a small, neat frame building with a picket fence. These are the houses we know best in the United States.
Now who determines where the house is to set and what shape it is to take? Aye, it's the free choice of the owner. He can choose a plot of ground in the country or in a neighborhood among friends, and he can barrel into his house all the comforts and protections he wishes, according to his
own desires and his ability to pay. Aye. In the democracy, any man has the right to live where he chooses. This is one of the freedoms one for the common man, is right under the Constitution of the United States, a part of his democratic heritage, the right which no man should take from another.
