7. I too weep for our country.

I weep for what has happened to intelligence and civility. We will be our own destruction if we don't get our asses on a stick and start to grow up again. There has been much lost since the hopes of the 60's. Some call my generation the baby boomers. I call it the generation of disappointment. There was a lot of hope then, for a day when we could say "free at last, free at last.." Honestly, I'm not sure I will ever see it, I'm not sure my kids will see it, I'm net even sure America will see it.

One thing is for sure... If stupidity reigns, the battle is lost.
