If a student is interested in freedom

for himself, his family, his children

and his country, then he had best get

off his chair and do something to

understand just exactly what freedom

is, and to insure the survival of that freedom.

         -Philip Abott Luce          

I've been discouraged about where our country is headed, and fast.  I have decided to counter act this by aquiring more knowledge and "getting off my chair."  Knowledge is power.  I am not exactly sure how my knowledge can make a difference, but somehow I believe it will.  This week I will send letters to my state and government officials (through jbs.org action), I will finish reading "The United Nations Exposed," and study our form of govenment.

I love quotes!

The most effectual means of

preventing the perversion of

power into tyranny are to illuminate,

the minds of the people.

               -Thomas Jefferson
