Scott, great post. We do "need a daily, consistent, positive attitude". That being the case, I felt that a few quotes from Ronald Reagan were an order. "Above all, we must realize that no arsenal, or no weapon in the arsenals of the world, is so formidable as the will and moral courage of free men and women. It is a weapon our adversaries in today's world do not have." "All great change in America begins at the dinner table. " "Heroes may not be braver than anyone else. They're just braver five minutes longer. " and last but not least.. "If the Soviet Union let another political party come into existence, they would still be a one-party state, because everybody would join the other party."
