Compromise!

This is something to ponder on as today's world (as we know it,) is coming apart.

"Once, you believed it was “only a compromise”: you conceded it was evil to live for yourself, but moral to live for the sake of your children. Then you conceded that it was selfish to live for your children, but moral to live for your community. Then you conceded that it was selfish to live for your community, but moral to live for your country. Now, you are letting this greatest of countries be devoured by any scum from any corner of the earth, while you concede that it is selfish to live for your country and that your moral duty is to live for the globe."

~ From Atlas Shrugged (Galt’s Speech), 1957


Reflect on this, and give us the benefit of your wisdom, please.

In simplest of terms, We must be everything to everyone and it is our duty to save the world

Correct, it sure comes down to that in my opinion. One thing is certian, the rest of the world will be there when they need us!

The only problem is that we are depriving our own citizens to help those who would destroy us, go figure!

Enjoy the time spent there!

I wonder if how to spell certian can be found in wikipedia? It would be a certain surprise to find it not there.

But, I will admit those were good ones, keep the cards and letters coming!

More likely the results of the hunt and peck method of typing, as a skilled typist can type blindfolded and not miss a key. Use the spell check that you have provided and you will not have to worry about how many eyes you have. Unless you're typing mIssIssIppI.
