Oceans of Eleven

On the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month 90 years ago, leaders of the world joined together in Paris to sign peace agreements ending the "war to end all wars." Wilson rode victoriously into Paris even though we really didn't show up until the end of the war and his attempt to have big government reign over the whole world has led to this country's current predicament. If you wish to hear people whine about US imperialism, ask Libertyhound or a million other bloggers. Back to what I was talking about. Regardless of politics or ideology, veterans are this country's second greatest resource after children. if we could get veterans to teach children lessons of service, duty, and pride who knows what could happen? I digress. If you know any veterans, please try to let them know how much you appreciate their sacrifice. My grandfather served in WWII, many of my friends have served in Iraq, and a lot of my new political contemporaries (old people) have served in Korea and Vietnam. I am pleased by how big of a turnout we had this election cycle. Many have died and struggled so that we can have the right to take power through election, and we at least owe them to use it. Please remember the 11th of November and all of our veterans.
