We should reflect that some of us still are what we were: Haters of despots, dictators and kings who formed a Republic with a Constitution that separated power and used a system of checks and balances to prevent or impeach those who abuse it. This needs to be as WE understand of our history – both the good, the flawed and the bad aspects.

So we citizens or taxpayers need to attempt once again to make things right, but so far not enough of us, we say. Let us remember and respect the hard battles past and the citizen soldiers who fought them, while girding ourselves for the political, economic and ongoing military battles we now face. To establish justice and maintain our Constitution of WE, we are thankful for the reminder that for evil to triumph all that’s necessary is for good people – in or outside of government – to do nothing.
