I was mortified at the footage of celebrating youth, as if at a Fourth of July picnic, also an event celebrated with little understanding of it's true significance. Every great empire exists on a slick of blood, and for any empire to ignore the sad inevitability of this is to submit it to slipping on it to its own demise. Pride only further greases the precarious platform upon which any powerful nation builds its identity. Our ability to avenge is not our power. I believe is is the humility in accepting that we are called upon to die by the standards by which we stand. Hut that cannot be done without a spiritual backbone, the cost of which is self appraisal, something our American politics is sorely lacking.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4447358636063030336.post-73663288684179628492011-05-02T22:10:46.808-05:002011-05-02T22:10:46.808-05:00Great post!
