I have heard before, "There are those who do it, and there are those who teach it". I believe rarely are both the same. I am deeply saddened by the tragic events this past week, as are most people Worldwide. I must admit I feel the same sense of loss and resulting anger following terrorist acts of violence irregardless of which counrty or peoples are directly affected. I extend my sympathy to the innocent (only) and hope for swift and complete resolution. I am married with children, a US Navy Veteran, and a Power Wagon Nut. My personal Hx is sorted to say the least, however, I have sworn an unconditional life-long oath to support my country without reservation. Albeit the oath was at an early age, the conviction grows stronger with time! We must not jest with other's convictions, and do whatever is necessary not to compromise our own. One flippant remark is no better than another is. Pull up the bootstraps and (DO)March on! By the by... I don't believe one has to have history to teach it, or have children to teach them, but it sure makes a difference in my mind, Bub.
