They are in their own way trying to correct the direction we have taken. I just hope others will wake up and realize that not only is the value of their work being discounted but that of their children will be a far more miserable fate.Beijing Yorkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05579118045254845839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-65311151739614075082012-06-29T13:45:49.856-07:002012-06-29T13:45:49.856-07:00Governments may have surrendered, but not every ci...Governments may have surrendered, but not every citizen has had the fight beaten out of them yet.Saskboyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13258259356749068135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-52925013612980310792012-06-29T12:39:52.031-07:002012-06-29T12:39:52.031-07:00Having read both books, Mound, I cannot agree more...Having read both books, Mound, I cannot agree more.

It is most unpatriotic, to the point of treason, to not shop, shop and then shop some more, no matter how deep in debt you need to go.
