Now that's what I'm talking about. I'm NOT saying everyone should make
that level of sacrifice or commitment, but right now I can't think of
anyone amongst our "leaders" who fits the bill. Furthermore, though I've
found in general that the people on this list tend to be the type who DO
care, but outside of that most of the people I run in to these days are
only about personal gain, and everyone and everything else be damned.
That needs to stop, or this country and our childred are screwed.
And more in line with what Jeff said:
You can't get something for nothing
You can't have freedom for free
You won't get wise
With the sleep still in your eyes
No matter what your dreams might be.
