Thats what it is about ...attitudes,don't matter if we are talking about our constitution or religion or life in general.It all comes back to attitudes.I had at one point decided to leave the forum as I did not appreciate the attitudes of a few here.As i sat and thought more on it,I realized that attitudes are why the country is where it is at today.Think about it,as any of us talk in general it is most generally I,or me...I,me,me I ,When do we hear WE? it should be we,the Constitution starts WE the people,not I or me.We all want or rights as they appeal or not to us.Its the attitude that has seen the country grow down,when there was religion,I am thinking folks stuck together more because of it,as this slowly recedes it appears that the individual places itself alone,not "in with the pack" community or whatever.Thus the "divided"house that will fall....or pull itself together and prevail.We talk of being together as gun folks..but are we really?.....I don't think so.Just my thoughts......for whatever they are worth.....

I just got done reading your "E" to me, and I think we have the same views, just with a slightly different twist.
I apologize for any inconvienance or unwarranted anger I may have caused you in the heat of the moment, but I guess that's the way it goes when emotions are dispersed on the ole' flat screen.
Thanks again-

"It is thus necessary that the individual should come to realize that his own ego is of no importance in comparison with the existence of his nation; that the position of the individual ego is conditioned solely by the interests of the nation as a whole ... that above all the unity of a nation's spirit and will are worth far more than the freedom of the spirit and will of an individual ... This state of mind, which subordinates the interests of the ego to the conservation of the community, is really the first premise for every truly human culture ... we understand only the individual's capacity to make sacrifices for the community, for his fellow man." -- Adolph Hitler (1933)

FS>>>>>FS....sigh,why do I do this to myself/[;)]I don't remember that one where was it?And he is/was right,I agree...then again where would we be as a country if those huge sacrifices were not made by our own?I do see how he uused it to his advantage,and how our own can/will....seems in keeping with the "dumbing down" of our country. So where should the line be drawn.Yes we must be individuals,absolutly,however there are times as in the cave-man times when we would/will have to unite to stand against a common threat....Hmmmmm,Know I'mm making myself think...No,YOU started it!
