Thanks for bringing up this topic Too Tall, it's been too long since I've read those fine words (High school? College?). Lincoln was a Godly man during ungodly times; no one should be burdened with the weights this man carried.

On the side: It's unfortunate that the bartleby website asked me to respond to a like/dislike survey about W when I went to close their site. It cheapened the moment.

These are timeless words and when we are unsettled or feel politics overwhelm society it's time to re-read these speeches and remember how strong we are as a nation. Sorry....a little vklempt...talk amongst yourselves.

Happy Veterans day y'all.

Please Note:
I have edited out Mr. Lincoln's quote here. Originally I had posted it.
The quote is definitely not PC.
However you may follow the link if you wish and read the first paragraph.

I find this quote most disturbing.

Lincoln hater ;) Duly noted. He had a cute mole, what can I say?
