I truly pity people who have been raised with the outlook that he was in his youth, but it also makes me indescribably angry that so many live like that. I think the winning element here is that you can reach and change people through education. I wish the mantra of all future families was 'think first, believe later' (or something along those lines), because it's clear to me today that my parents and grandparents generations, and the current generations, though thankfully to a lesser extent, were raised on patriotism and faith, rather than reason and historical lessons.

Interesting that he quotes Janis Joplin ("Freedom is (sic) another word for 'nothing left to lose'").

When bush was in office, I would question his actions to my sister and I remember her responding that God (or maybe it was Jesus) said we had a responsibility to follow our leaders. Interestingly enough, she and her husband thoroughly hate Obama and would have him thrown out if they could. So maybe today, we still hold those values of patriotism and faith, but only if it's 'our' guy.
