I'm yin o' the old Border radicals, and I'm not like to change.

I'm for individual liberty and equal rights and chances for all men.

I'll no more bow down before a Dagon of a Goavernment official than before the Baal of a feckless Tweedside laird.

I've to keep my views to mysel', for thae young lads are all drucken-daft with their wee books about Cawpital and Collectivism and a wheen long senseless words I wouldna fyle my tongue with.

Them and their socialism! There's more gumption in a page of John Stuart Mill than in all that foreign trash.
