To the Editor:

As American citizens, it is our obligation to stand up for what we believe
is right.

Barry Kort has done this by refusing to pay a fee, which he considers
wrong, to the trustees of Bedfordshire Condominium Trust.

Your community, by tacitly supporting the trustees, is telling your young
people to be obedient at all costs.

I am surprised to see such an attitude in New England, which I thought was
home to revolution and abolition, or so I was taught out here in the
boondocks.

It is perhaps too late for a compromise in this case, but what if the
trustees continued to bill Mr. Kort, and he continued not to pay them?

Yours sincerely,
