Just came across this quote....

I just came across this quote, and thought it was a great one for today, or any day.....

My God! How little do my countrymen know what precious blessings they are in possession of, and which no other people on earth enjoy! ~Thomas Jefferson
We continue to be exasperated by the view, apparently gaining momentum in certain circles, that armed robbery is okay as long as nobody gets hurt! The proper solution to armed robbery is a dead robber, on the scene.

Well, if you say quotes from the past you'll get crickets here. They'll tell you its not 1776 and that those quotes and actions called for do not apply to current day situations. This is why we are where we are in this civilization. I do like this quote and agree whole heartedly with it. Its too easy to forget where we came from and especially the "how we got here"!

We got here through a river a blood, and seeing things now it seems that river is parched of thirst!
