The founding of the USA is the pinnacle of human government achievement in the history of the world, I truly believe this. Freedom is too fragile to take for granted. What doesn't seem to be talked about much these days is that we are not equal in talents or achievements, but we are all EQUAL in opportunities to achieve. If we insist that outcomes must be equal, rather than opportunities, then by necessity this puts us onto the lowest common denominator. It's hard to imagine the brave men and women who settled the west, or fought in war, or so many more heroic and uncertain endeavors, would be told they MUST buy a certain type of light bulb. They are now told that they don't know how to pack a bag lunch for a four year old so that their child must eat chicken nuggets instead.<br /><br />The contraception issue seems to be a smokescreen to coerce a religious establishment to pay for something it doesn't believe in. It's not as if contraception isn't easily and cheaply available if one wants it.

Your CS Lewis quote fits our time well, but even he didn't imagine the absurd situation we find ourselves in today. <br /><br />The great founders of our country, the soldiers who fought and died for our country, they made the ultimate sacrifice, the last full measure, for taxpayer funded contraception.<br /><br />It is going to be a very interesting year.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
