Default What would our country look like if everyone believed this?

A good quote from a good-old country/western novelest:

Up to a point a man's life is shaped by environment, heredity, and the movements and changes in the world around him. Then there comes a time when it lies within his grasp to shape the clay of his life into the sort of thing he wishes to be. Only the weak blame parents, their race, their times, lack of good fortune, or the quirks of fate. Everyone has it within his power to say, 'This I am today; that I will be tomorrow.'

Louis Dearborn L'Amour

Obama wouldn't have been elected, that's for sure.

Good old Louis L'Amour. My dad and grandpa used to read his books all the time.

This is how I grew up in the 60's and 70's. In todays world I fear with what our children will have to deal with. SAD

I would have to agree with that. Seems like anymore everyone has an excuse for their situation.
