Americans: A Courageous People

If someone else says to me that Americans are in a stupor and not doing anything, I will just spit.

Lots of Americans are doing things and have been doing things at great expense and risk. America is a very dangerous place, as those who have survived torture and terror to accomplish much can tell you. Those who have been severely disabled or assassinated can not speak but their contribution is appreciated and not forgotten.

If you think things are bad, you need to appreciate how much worse it would be if not for the often heroic efforts and personal forgiveness of millions of decent, hard working Americans in the face of corruption and evil destroying their communities and the institutions they are forced to use and finance.

Do not denigrate Americans. Give thanks for our courageous efforts, good works and generosity.
