Yesterday afternoon, as I waited for my chiropractic appointment, I read an artile in Time Magazine about how some Chinese yuppies (yes, that’s what they are) didn’t care about bringing democracy to their country, so long as they kept living the good life. The Chinese Communist Party isn’t making the same mistakes that their former counterparts in the Soviet Union did.
And then I saw this just now. How uncanny. How sad that even in our own country, some people just don’t give a damn. Time for a quote from Samuel Adams:
“...If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude than the animated contest of freedom, go from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen!”
