I was thinking last night, while I should have been sleeping, about this country in which I live. How we have been sliding slowly from a culture of strength and sacrifice to a culture of immediate gratification and one that demands quick fix, no cost remedies. This brought to mind some wise words that I will leave with you, spoken by greater men than I.
"From time to time, the tree of liberty must be watered with the blood of tyrants and patriots."
-- Thomas Jefferson
"Those who have long enjoyed such privileges as we enjoy forget in time that men have died to win them"
-- FDR
