I'll have to say, "well, I was chasing after a stupid white ball on the Golf course, again!!". Yeah, yeah, I know, not very Patriotic of me. Maybe one of the kids around here, if they're smart, will be working the back nine, just when you need some lemonade the most!! Maybe if they're real smart, they'll give me some advice on how be to fix my slice? I'd pay them good money for that!!

Don't know if Macomber meant this as a joke, but I guess it depends where you draw the line on freedom.

I went to the site and see they have a facebook page. Gonna suggest it to my neighbors and see if they will get their kids involved. I will.

I have seen some columnists and posters at this site claim that if it is the law it ought to be obeyed. It would seem that some are conflicted between respect for authority and personal judgment.

Sadly that is not the question our grandchildren will ask. Instead it will be, "What did you do when the federal government was making us slaves? Why did you think you could use our money for yourself? I have no answer. We can never apologize for what we have done to them.
