In the course of our lives, we inevitably face a choice...how to respond to circumstances beyond our control.
We can choose to take the low road...to find the lowest common denominator. Take post-Katrina New Orleans for example.









Occasionally, an entire people will react as one to horror beyond fathom. Take New York, and the entire nation, in response to the September 11th attacks.










It fills me with pride to see the people of my ancestral home, Virginia, rise as one...to rebuild after the recent quake that struck the area. To show courage in the face of such a daunting task...

The things that come to those who wait, may be the things left by those who got there first.

I contend that for a nation to try to tax itself into prosperity is like a man standing in a bucket and trying to lift himself up by the handle.
-- Winston Churchill

Censorship, that most subtle tool of oppression, the tool of the fearful and small minded. 8/15/2008

"It is interesting that we are asked to NOT judge all Muslims by the actions of a few lunatics. Too bad gun owners can't get same judgment."
Travis Tritt (I know!)
