Benchmark of Civilization

“No one is free until everyone is free” -- An aphorism worthy of memorization I cannot imagine anyone would disagree No one is free until everyone is free, Applying to everyone, not just you and me It must be the benchmark of civilization No one is free until everyone is free – An aphorism worthy of memorization.
