I remember people being ostracized during that time period. As I recall, there were many divorces. I never knew why. I didn't know enough at that time to be dangerous, unfortunately. But I sure do now, and I won't back down. [Insert Johnny Cash song here.]
And I won't back down
No, I won't back down.

But I won't back down.
