If you want to help the community stay on the road to freedom, one<br>
important way is to publicly uphold citizen values. When people are<br>
discussing what is good or bad, or what to do, cite the values of<br>
freedom and community and argue from them.<br>
<br>
It's no use going faster by taking the wrong road. Compromise is<br>
essential to achieve a large goal, but beware of compromises that lead<br>
away from the goal.<br>
