It’s Mah Birthday, and what I wrote yesterday reminds me of the world I grew up in. It was a good world, and I enjoyed growing up in it. It was a safe world, because we made it so. And I want more people to have that world. I guess that is why I fell so easily into the Neocon umbrella when I was young. We had a good world, and it is our duty to try to help others achieve it. Right? I grew up, and I realized that we can’t do that. Other people have to choose to create that world for themselves. If we try to make it for them, they will not appreciate it enough to defend it themselves when we step away. On my birthday I am thankful to have grown up in a world where those who came before me did defend that peace. And I pray to God we can leave our children a world as good as the one we had.
