Reply #84: I believe the title of the post was "It is a great time to be alive" [View All]

Up until that night, I had looked at the situation that we find ourselves in strictly from the negative perspective. Indeed, there is unspeakable tragedy occurring in the world today and our country is firmly in the grasp of vile and ruthless people that will do everything that they can to destroy it and us. I speak as a person that might find myself receiving a call via the ** back door draft. So, how could this possibly be a great time to be alive?

I have spent a great deal of time thinking about this. How fortunate are we to know the truth? If we did not have the Internet(s), and relied solely on the corporate media for information, the majority of us would have no idea what was going on in the world until it was too late.

We know the truth and that gives us the power and the responsibility to fight. We have been called upon, like generations before us to take a stand to uphold the values upon which this nation was founded. It is a somber duty, but one that will not be passed on to the next generation. This is our fight.

So now, instead of dwelling on everything that is wrong with the world, I think about how fortunate I am to be able to fight for a chance to make a difference. In that sense, it is a great time to be alive.
