| 66. "I think the typical attitude in the US is |
|
'Someone else will defend my liberty.'"
Honestly, I am more and more leaning towards the opinion that any country where the poulation is unwilling (not unable, but unwilling) to fight for their freedom deserve what they get. The US has fallen mightily since Patrick Henry rallied everyone in 1775 with his cry of "Give me liberty or give me death." And one cannot blame the media - I'm sure the British controlled many a newspaper in Colonial America. The sons and daughters of the revolution got around that by publishing their own books and pamphlets - by meeting in secret, by word of mouth, by getting involved. A majority of today's Americans are letting the heritage of the Founding Fathers go to waste because of complacency.
