"War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth fighting for is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than he. ~~John Stuart MillPACIFISTS ARE THE PARASITES OF FREEDOM.

If I ever won the big bucks, I would definitely spend a bit airing my own PSAs lol

This is one of my favorite quotes of all time. I have it posted on the wall above my desk at work. It's also my "signature" on other message boards (in shortened form).
