I myself had been losing sight of what really matters. Just this weekend I had a wake up call, and all it took was the look on one mans face.

So very true, Eric. It is so easy to lose track of the important things under the barrage of daily life sometimes. It may sound silly, but that is why I try to put aside time at least once a week to sitting back and smoking a cigar. it may sound trivial, but it is something to enjoy and allows me time to forget about the daily grind and just focus on the things that I am thankful for - like the fact that I can enjoy a fine cigar on a beautiful day….
Thanks for the comment on our wall. I’d love to link-up with your blog and share some traffic, as we over her at Tomy Thompson for President are just getting our wordpress blog started. Best of luck in your competition.
Wow. Why is it that Americans always love themselves so much? I’d rather not be protected, fed, clothed or defended by Americans. True. And you probably find that surprising I’ll bet! America does not have a monopoly on good human qualities and you’d probably need to step outside the ‘building’ and look back on it in order to realise that.
Oh and even though I don’t believe in God, Jesus or giant omnipotent invisible men, it doesn’t mean I don’t have strong morals ethical principles and feel love or possess other noble human traits. It is possible without a God you know.
On the military - no one hates your soldiers for doing the best they can, I’m sure their intentions are good, it’s the people you’ve elected that use your military for selfish purposes that are the real enemy. As I said before - not everyone wants your version of democracy and we should be free to choose that as well - without having it imposed through wars.
