Did they die in vain?

This piece by Stoney sums up many of the things that I thought over this past long weekend in a way that I had neither the time, energy nor creativity to express. His points regarding what blogging might really accomplish are on the mark. Are we a people that might truly be awakened by mere words? Can the pen have the influence over a slothful people the way a little book called Common Sense had on our forefathers? I doubt it. I doubt there is much short of the Almighty that can possibly bring us back from the precipice we now toy about. Still I shall remain confident that maybe a precious few will head the call and wake up form this Orwellian nightmare. Right on Stoney!
