"We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America." This sound familiar? I'm sure you all read learned about it in school. (those who paid attention in school) So, how did provide welfare come from promote the general welfare?When you think about, our country began as a bunch of insurgents who stood up to Britain and said they won't live under their tyranny any longer. What's going on today with politics scares the beejeebees out of me... Where's John Wayne and Audie Murphy when you need them?

Scares me, too! If you'd asked, I would have lent you my soapbox.
AMEN to that! It scares me too. Even with all the modern electronic "toys" and "tools" we have now, I'd like to return to the more respectful life styles of the 40's & 50's. I'm thinking even before birth control pills & the sexual revolution, aids and numerous STDs, gangs and drug culture! It's hard to be positive in today's world!
The times, they are a-changing. (Just ask Bob Dylan.)
