Thanks for saying that.

And I'd remind all who read this that it was one of histories most notorious socialist tyrants, Adolph Hitler, who correctly declared

"What great luck for rulers that people do not think." </font size=5>

Yes, 9-11-01 was a terrible event and we must find and punish those responsible. And, sadly, there WILL be others.

But we must not punish ourselves and those who come after in the process by killing the idea that was America and for which idea so many have already paid the ultimate price.

"Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither Liberty nor safety."
Benjamin Franklin, Pennsylvania Assembly, Nov. 11, 1755

Let's work the problem, people -- starting with thinking it all the way through.
