You will be the same person in five years as you are today except for the people you meet and the books you read.

I know that ehowton will either chuckle, roll his eyes or both when he reads this, but I'm planning on doing a lot of blogging this week. Some of it will be writing articles for the future, some of it will be sending out a lot of stuff this weekend. There may be some of you out there that feel like I am machine gunning you out there with posts, but in reality what I''m doing is trying to make each post bite-sized and topical. Please bear with me.

Off to the weekly Support the Troops Rally. Catch you on the flip side.

Is anyone on top of the opt-out story? I just heard a short something on the way into work. Under the proposed legislation the States can opt out but they still have to pay?!?!?!?!

That's not State's rights. That's bullying States into what they and their people don't want. We should encourageStates to NOT buy into this farce and reject the whole notion. We should encourage States to stand up to the Federal Government and say that if this steaming wheelbarrow is being shoved down the American people's throat, State by State it will be shoved up the Government's lower orifice.

Now is not the time to be silent. Silence is consent. We should be resilient and unwavering. The signers of the Declaration of Independence pledged to themselves their Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor. If they made that kind of pledge to themselves for not just the people in the room that day, but for the rest of their fellow Colonists as well as those of us that come after them, we would disgrace and be unworthy of the work that our Founding Fathers did in 1776 if we do not speak out.
