*standing back a bit stunned by your post*

Thank you, Gil.  You and I and others believe that if our founding fathers were here they they would encourage us to lead the charge.  In fact, they wouldn't wait for us.  They did and at a great cost only to achieve a greater benefit and if we are to be citizen's then we must exercise the rights of citizenship, and sadly, never has our country been more challenged than perhaps as it is today. 

I thank you as well, for your kindness as much as for your bravery in realizing the the dangers we face as a nation and impose upon others.
