[QUOTE="SidecarFlip, post: 779892, member: 39764"] I have to say, I haven't. I've had my fingers in some cracks but that was long ago.....lol Everyday is a fight anymore and yes, it was a good read. Problem is, today, citizens look at things differently and live differently than back then. Back then, people weren't spoon fed their pablum, they had to go out and get it. What they had they worked for and worked hard. Today, thats not ther case. Food comes from the grocery not the woods or the garden. Transportation is via car not horseback and no one (except hunters) walk anywhere now. Getting the paper from the mailbox is considered a chore. One reason why we have so much obesity here. People have become complacient and sedetary and [U]expect[/U] to be given necessities and if thats not occuring in a fashion they deem acceptable, they cry, hence 'entitlement'.... So yes, lots of parallels between then and now, however, now is a different mindset than then. Not saying everyone falls into that catergory, but a large segment of the population does. Those people have no foresight and really don't care about tomorrow, the agenda of the government or their fellow citizens, so long as they get what they deem they deserve. I do take solace that at least 11 million citizens feel strongly about what this coutry and it's principles were founded on. Thats a pretty strong statement in itself. [/QUOTE]
