Your Random Thoughts and places like DC should remind us of the potential for the United States to continue to be the leader of the free world. My wife said it best the other day when she said that most Americans don't care about which party wins--most of us just want our leaders to do the right things for the right reason for the American people. We have to be willing to stick our necks out and let the chips fall where the fall, as you have said.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7411958894593823280.post-66361558514089577962012-04-10T01:37:47.901+03:002012-04-10T01:37:47.901+03:00Alan, the drive sounds fun.
