Joan,

I visited Chick-fil-A on Tuesday because I'm busy today. I was so encouraged to see so many young folks there. There were numerous HS kids, college age kids and young families. Additionally, the drive thru was lined up the entire time I was there. Perhaps there is yet hope for us if these folks can be motivated in other directions as well.

as an aside, I saw a young man with an artificial leg and assumed he was yet another victim of our sandbox struggle. I went over to say thank you to him and he informed me he had been hit by a car in 1997 and lost his leg as a result of that accident. He was a man of good humor though and we had a good laugh at my leap to conclusion.

Thanks for a great piece. You always hit the nail squarely on the head.

The Patriot Post is a highly acclaimed advocate of Essential Liberty, the restoration of constitutional limits on government and the judiciary, and the promotion of free enterprise, national defense and traditional American values. We believe, as did our Founders, that Essential Liberty must be defended at any cost. "They that can give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety." (Ben Franklin) · "A Constitution of Government once changed from Freedom, can never be restored. Liberty, once lost, is lost forever." (John Adams) · "The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants." (Thomas Jefferson) · "If there must be trouble, let it be in my day, that my child may have peace." (Thomas Paine) · "It does not take a majority to prevail...but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men. ... If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude than the animating contest of freedom, go from us in peace. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen!" (Samuel Adams) · "Give me liberty or give me death!" (Patrick Henry) · "Our cause is noble; it is the cause of mankind!" (George Washington)
