Until the schools quit teaching about it. After hearing about some of the horror stories The Date has told me about how ignorant some of the college aged students are about American history it makes me wonder what our future is.
Some make common spelling mistakes, some don't know Lewis and Clark from Amos and Andy, some couldn't pick out Thomas Jefferson in a lineup. It's embarrassing. The day that will live in infamy is the day we fail to teach the nation's youth our history.
Where this country has come from, how we got to be where we are in such a short amount of time, and where we can go. I love this country, we are a noble and good country. We've made mistakes but we were strong enough to correct them.
You don't see people risking their lives to escape into Cuba, Russia, Iran, North Korea, or any other country but you see people coming here and in the most haphazard ways to escape oppression.
Freedom is our natural state, endowed to us by our creator, we strive for it, we find it in every nook and cranny, and we empower those who seek it to find it.
Whether we are on the wrong track or not right now is debatable, I say we were getting off on the wrong track a couple of years ago and we are dead wrong now, others believe we are headed in the right direction with massive government interference in our lives and the erosion of our personal freedoms.
Where we are headed now is anybody's guess but on this infamous day in history I wonder how many actually realize it or care...
