Speak For Yourself
Americans want the Gulf Coast not just to survive, but to thrive, not just to cope, but to overcome. We want evacuees to come home, for the best of reasons -- because they have a real chance at a better life in a place they love.
-- George W. Bush
Who's this "they"? For the record: it's not me.
I don't NOT want it to thrive, but I don't want it to "thrive" on my dime. Let them build their own city if they want to, I don't care. But I don't want to pay for it. I really don't.
"It is the common fate of the indolent to see their rights become a prey to the active. The condition upon which God hath given liberty to man is eternal vigilance; which condition if he break, servitude is at once the consequence of his crime and the punishment of his guilt."
