Something controversial or provocative about this subject

"Live free or die." - The Motto of the State of New Hampshire. The phrase comes from a toast written by General John Stark on July 31, 1809. Poor health forced Stark to decline an invitation to an anniversary reunion of the Battle of Bennington and to send his toast by letter: ''Live free or die: Death is not the worst of evils''.
