Words to remember

"The trees were dripping quietly, monotonously, as if weeping for the death of the world." A comment by a soldier after World War I during a night rain.

"Never surrender your liberties to a foregn invader or an aspiring demagogue." A comment by soldier who fought in our Revolutionary War before his death.

What do these two sentiments have in common? Perhaps nothing but to allow me to evaluate current America. Common sense has died; political correctness has raised its ugly head. Moral leaders championing the free market have atrophied; selflish demogogues exercise a healthy control over their subjects.
