Hi Josh, Thanks. I was going to have a glass of lemonade. Now I'll pass and opt for good ole h20. <<The people of this nation have become indolent and self serving.>> Human beings tend to be at there best when they face extreme adversity. When they go through it for a protracted period of time, it builds character and wisdom. My parents and many of their generation went through the Great Depression and WW2. They have known both supreme sacrifice and periods of economic prosperity. They have an appreciation for the good times and a depth of understanding of the bad that most of my generation does not possess. We have become self serving because of prosperity. However, one can find examples of selfless acts everyday from folks faced with life and death situations. The point being is that when it is demanded of them most people will respond with a hard work, selflessness and acts of kindness. Have a great weekend
