About This Quote
This is something I learned from a wise man named Howard Zinn. He said: "The most sacred right of a person is to refuse to be manipulated, handled, cheated, and then kicked in the ass---." The most sacred right of a person is to refuse to be manipulated, handled, cheated and then kicked in the ass---. There are some people who need to know what it feels like to be kicked in the ass. It's like when you get kicked in the head but you keep getting up and walking forward.
It's like when you get married and your husband or wife kicks your ass---the disease of marriage. They don't mean it but they do it anyway---who needs that?
