When people say 911 changed everything, they don't realize how right they are. I was on the phone with my mom the Sunday before that Tuesday. We were just talking generalities and she got on the subject of how the current younger generation has no respect for many things including other people and other people's property.

She is in her 70's living in FL. I am in my 50's. So we both came from a time when respect was rampant. A neighbor could chew me out for doing something wrong and then my Dad would chew me out for that and for getting chewed out by a neighbor!

I remember telling her that this generation has been given everything they have. They did not experience war, they did not appreciate how the world works. Then 911 came. I saw change in this country first hand. I had flown out to MN for a meeting on 910. Had to drive home half way across this country. The patriotism I saw on that ride brought me tears several times. Then they gave us McCain. Then there was and is the Tea Party. The 912 Rally From The Ground. I had to attend, I felt compelled to attend. In July of 08 I wrote Do we need a tea party to end all tea parties? and realized that yes we do. I was already a "birther" at that point.

So yes Citizens should take this experiment seriously and be a part of our government be cause we are the government. We don't need to take it back, we need to make sure it works like it is supposed to.

I am happy and proud to help.

I work in Cambridge MA and have a conference at 11AM. I am praying that call does not last too long cause it's about 75 miles from here to Concord NH. Which is not where the shot heard round the world was fired, but it's close anyway....
