Children Growing Up, Old friends Growing Older
Still round the corner there may wait
A new road or a secret Gate;
And though I oft have passed them by,
A day will come at last when I
Shall take the hidden paths that run
West of the Moon, East of the Sun.

Nope. Never.
Land of the free because of the brave. Never forget...
Never, never
"These are the times that try men's souls: The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of his country; but he that stands it NOW, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly:--'Tis dearness only that gives everything its value. Heaven knows how to set a proper price upon its goods; and it would be strange indeed, if so celestial an article as FREEDOM should not be highly rated." Thomas Paine "The American Crisis" Dec. 19, 1776

Karen was already signed in and I didn't want to sign her out and go back in, but I thought this quote about sums it up for me.
