Lady, you have said it for me and I am glad!

I have long-felt that there is an insideouse plot to end our freedom as we know it and have rallied against it's intrusions into our constitutional rights. Most of us who see this are alone in our insight.

Taylor Cauldwell wrote about it many years ago. So have many others. It is truly unfortunate that we have allowed several decades of children to evolve to the station where they not only cannot read but have no inclination to do so, much less understand anything more than to suck off the government teat.

FDR's lend lease contrivance led us into WW2. He kinda needed a Pearl Harbor to get the fever up for fighting though. What's a couple of base commanders worth to be blamed in the long run? Run the list.

Good ole Harry Truman needed Korea to keep him from blame for the atomic blasts on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Later, he just had to shut McArthur up.

LBJ's Tonkin Gulf was enough to escalate us into the Viet Nam War. Good thing he had McNamara to help him all along the way.

Our fearless leaders have been many and are no less full of shit today. Our legacy is that since shortly after the Continental Congress of the Founders we have let it happen.

When I attempt to talk to people every day about these things, I am met with a glazed expression or a smirk about my leanings. That's because no one here in the good ole USA has had bombs falling on their heads yet. Or no electricity for months yet. Or having to find food and water on a daily basis yet.

There is hope, though,as you so eloquently stated about the common folk on Flight 93. They are here among us as much and more than the "cells" of the Al Queada. We don't need regulations...we need the freedom to exercise our free will. Our kids, well-educated or not, are used to it and will fight to keep it.

Let them do it here on our own soil and not in some far-off land they never even read about, much less cared about. And most of all, let them do it for themselves and not for some politicians pocketbook or illusions of grandeur.

P.S. I hear now that Bagdad Bonior and Mullah McDermott are going down in history as our modern day Hanoi Jane. This could be funny to me if it were not so tragic to future family's of lost children.

I probably won't be around for the next memorial to the fallen. But, I will shed a tear in heaven.
