The sporadic musings of a middle aged man who isn't exactly happy with the direction America is taking today....
"The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not." ~~Thomas Jefferson
"Who will protect us from those who protect us?"
Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. ~ Thomas Jefferson
"None are so hopelessly enslaved as those who falsely believe they are free." ~~Goethe

Rest in Peace....
Specialist Donald Nichols was laid to rest today in my home town. The 21 year old Scout with the 1/133rd Infantry, Iowa Army National Guard, was killed by an IED in Afghanistan last week.
commoncents - it's pretty sad that you post your generic comments on the popular blogs with the sole intent of getting a link. I could post a picture of a turd and I'd get an "awesome! Thanks for writing this. Link exchange?". But to do so on a post about a young man who gave his life for his country is just low.
If you're going to comment at least READ the post and say something that relates to it.
This young man deserves our highest regard, nothing less.
