Ray, Times were tougher in 1982, 1973-74 going into 1975. Life was hard in 1978, 1979 and 1980. This IS NOT the Destruction of the American Economy you have my personal guarantee. so don't be so dramatic. our generation has not even started to be tested. And I'm very serious. John EDIT: You should be forced to relive the 1930's and 1940's. That was real hardship and the type of selfless service that just about none of us know about. The brave people who built this country endured much more hardship and had much greater backbone than you or I will ever get the chance to exhibit. Moses and his people were in bondage in Egypt and then spent 40 years trying to get to the land that they Felt that God had promised them. Most everyone we know would cave in within 18 months. Your Muslim and Al-Quadea compatriates have seriously underestimated the stock, background, suffering and resolve of the peoples that they now think they are going to intimidate and overwhelm. A very hard, hard rain is going to fall and many are going to be surprised as to how efficient this process will be. I have only one lithograph that hangs above my bed. It's "Washington Resigning his Commission" which he did before Congress after the end of the War. He could have been King, He could have been Caesar. and Yet he freely and without reservation gave his power and position up. His sense of A Higher Calling and the greater Nobility of Leadership not born of Title, Privelege or Personal Advantage is a Lesson that Will Never be Lost on Many of Us who are not only Proud to Have been Born in this country. But it gives us a sense of Purpose and Resolve, a desire for Justice and Liberty, That will in Time be heard and felt clearly on this entire Planet. and I'll personally never rest until these things come to Pass. You have provided the energizing fuel to refine and intensify my passion for the things I know must transpire. John
