“I will propose this. When we have to do something we will, but not before. Tougher times will be the only thing that will group us up. Until then it is life as usual.”
true...and yet...”now” is the time to steel ourselves...yes?
My observation is that most (not all) people don’t do anything until they have to. Sadly too true of me.
But you cited the founding fathers who gave up wealth, power and position for the sake of liberty. I would propose that they had already lost these things before they went to battle.
Freedom is just another word for nothing left to lose? (you know the source for that right?)
With that said, what is the difference between freedom and liberty?
Freedom is the price we pay for Liberty....
