Independence

Though it is a concern that more and more of our population seem to be growing ever more dependent on the state, we can still celebrate our Founders' vision of what this country was about.

It is easy to look back and declaim all of the evils that America has perpetrated on races and peoples, but overall one will still be hard pressed to compare this country to another in terms of freedom and opportunity.

Let us be ever vigilant as we protect our natural rights from others as well as from our own government. We desperately need a return to civic responsibility which includes first and foremost a decent education on what that actually means--with that comes the understanding of relevance and the desire to motivation. If we wait until the motivation comes by itself then I fear it may be too late in the game.

Patriotically,
