and oppressed nation."

*****
"Sharing the awareness that the human penis is designed
correctly the way it normally comes into the world: with its
foreskin intact; that a male's possession of his own penis --
including his foreskin -- is his inviolable birthright; and that
a child's chances for health and happiness throughout his life
are greater -- by far -- if he is allowed to keep all of the
penis he is born with."
