Before I was married, I was bit rough around the edges. Easy to upset. Enjoyed confrontations. Fought for every right I knew to be right. Then, I decided to calm down and be more "turn the other cheekish".....and every time I gave an inch....the cheek slapper took a yard....Recently, I've reverted and if nothing else, it feels good. Raising a country to be strong and self preserving takes the same sort of attitude that raising a good dog, or a respectable child. All must learn to think, evaluate and respond accordingly to the rippling effect of the current event. If you stop thinking and start believing what others tell you is how you should behave, you will certainly end up like the dog that never gets housebroken, never ends up being something to be proud of. Your kids start to look at you like you're the problem instead of the solution and they turn to idiot buddies to form their teen aged years. Our country has listened to the wrong people for the last decade and now is paying the price for appearing to be the flaky adolescent that gets kicked around by everybody on the block. We look weak and as such, we got slapped and slapped hard. The only way to recover is to stand up and kick the shit out of everybody that stands in front of us. We are at the point of the ultimate test. We either win forever or lose forever. THank GOd we rigged the Florida vote count. SHootie
