In Memoriam
Wow, and again it’s been a while. Things aren’t easy when you’re working on starting your own company. Work, work, work all the time. But, we’re confident this is going to be successful and turn some things around for us. Prayers are always appreciated.
So, on this day of all days, I thought I’d drop a note in here echoing what I saw from Vox earlier. That is that this day has become a day of mourning for us. It no longer is a happy occasion. We remember what the day used to be about, but too many people have been seduced into selling out their freedom for peanuts.
So on this day, we remember my favorite old Gadsden flag and in the spirit of “Don’t Tread On Me”, I pull out a nice Sam Adams quote that’s been passed around among us recently:
“A general dissolution of principles and manners will more surely overthrow the liberties of America than the whole force of the common enemy. While the people are virtuous they cannot be subdued; but when once they lose their virtue then will be ready to surrender their liberties to the first external or internal invader.”—Samuel Adams
I was just thinking about your flag earlier today. That was a cool one.
Hope you had a great Fourth.
