and no it won't-even during the Christmas season.

That comment cheapens both the self sacrifice and honor of commitment to the ideas that made our country the great experiment in democracy. It actually brings up a point of rise in power of the cooperation over democracy (or will of the people). Yes, two years experience in a store will protect democracy...right.

In fact, I find your remark both flippant and insulting. It is the very attitude that I alluded to. Too much self absorption and not enough thought to the greater good. Perhaps you need to crack a history book or two- maybe about Valley Forge or something about the fate of the signers of the Declaration of Independence or even a book about the works of Mother Theresa in Calcutta or Profiles in Courage by JFK.
