Happy Veterans Day

[Cleo]

From the movie With Honors

Simon Wilder: You asked a question,sir. Let me answer it. The genius of the constitution is that it can always be changed. The genius of the constitution is that it makes no permanent rule other than its faith in the wisdom of ordinary people to govern themselves. Mr. Picannon: The faith in the wisdom of ordinary people is exactly what makes the Consitution imcomplete and crude. Simon: Crude? No, sir. Our founding parents were pompous middle-aged white farmers, but they were also gret men, ebcause they knew one thing that all great men should know: that they didn't know everything. They knew they were going to make mistakes, but they made sure to leave a way to correct them. They didn't think of themselves as leaders. They wasted a government of citizens, not royalty. A government of listeners, not lecturers. A government that could change, not stand still. The president isn't an elected king, no matter how many bombs he can drop, because the crude Constitution doesn't trust him. He's a servant of the people. He's a bum. Ok, Mr. Picannon? He's just a bum. The only bliss that he's searching for is freedom and justice.

With that nasty Bush finally being removed from government I'm once again proud to be living here and say thank you for the sacrifices that veterans have made.

Today is much too soon, too much to do today from yesterday and the day before, I need more yesterday.

Hopefully I'll actually get some work done today instead of having to deal with non work related stuff again today.

Got a good night's sleep so at least I'm rested and I'm ready for today.
