A United States citizen bearing this claim seldom stops to realize how lucky and fortunate he is to have attained this appellative almost effortlessly. for our generation is past having to stand. fight. and even die for its sake--or are we? Is citizenship as a state of duty dead. or even in peace eras are there certain duties. and designated privileges to be upheld as befitting the sacredness of the institution held next to nothing in our nations history? Abraham Lincoln once said. "those who share in the privileges of a government. should assist in bearing its burden." Basically stated that is the main duty of a citizen. native or naturalized. rich or impoverished. in peace or war. And in this era of growing unrest. of government scandals and oil boycotts. the responsibility of citizenship is falling heavier and more burdensome upon the common man. But is that wrong?
