Advice to the young...and old.

Kosciuszko's Advice to a Youth To do honor to your family and yourself and at my recommendation, you must reread what follows every day so that it will be engraved on your memory on which your well being will depend. Rise at four in the summer and six in the winter. Your first thoughts must be directed towards the Supreme Being; worship Him for a few minutes. Set yourself to work with reflection and intelligence, either at your prescribed duty carried out in the most scrupulous manner, or perfect yourself in some science in which you should have true mastery. Avoid lying under any circumstances in your life, but always be frank and loyal and always tell the truth. Never be idle but be sober and frugal even hard on yourself while indulgent to others. Do not be vain nor an egotist (1763 https://www.etymonline.com/word/egoist).

 Crosby, Still, Nash & Young - Find the Cost of Freedom lyrics    Daylight again, following me to bed I think about a hundred years ago, how my fathers bled I think I see a valley, covered with bones in blue All the brave soldiers that cannot get older been askin' after you Hear the past a callin', from Ar- -megeddon's side When everyone's talkin' and noone is listenin', how can we decide?

 It is the branch which bends that holds the most snow.
 Read “Shooting” today bullets flying into the fray. When God says Life is what  Light is about, which of God’s candles are you about to snuff out? Are you sure that man  is taking your freedom? Are you sure that man is a man? Not a child or a mother  or an other, forced to run for cover? Is the City you defend Both on a Hill And in a Swamp? Can you deal out Just death from behind your carbine free from want?
 Rhythm: The rhythm of the dance.  The dance of sunrise and sunsets. Partners past and present orbit and eclipse making oceans of hearts rise and fall to the music of one love.
 Guns, gold, and the NRA.  Again the Country is rocked by shots from guns in the hands of mentally disturbed individuals. Guns that should have been locked and secured. Guns that should have been, Well Regulated Militia hardware.  But the Country instead is turning it’s attention to the skyrocketing price of gold and fortunes to be made. And the ramblings of the political sideshow of the NRA.  Countrymen listen to the wisdom of your 1st Commander in Chief: get vaccinated! Get in formation! Get together with your brothers of all colors and backgrounds! Or get out of the way!  
The authors of the Constitution knew when they came to the Amending of it, that it constituted the beginning of the slippery slope. I.E.the enumerating of the freedoms of the Sovereign Citizens, rather than the Constitution innately granting those freedoms and allowing Congress to enumerate the limiting of them. The greater risk of failure in leaving out enumerated freedoms makes the slope slippery.

Counting on Responsibility. The responsibility of the Sovereign Citizen to fulfill their duty to Act with temperance and respect to their fellow citizens in their exercise of the freedoms guaranteed. The responsibility of the Government to faithfully execute the Constitution of, by and for the Citizenry. To Live under the Law. The 1st great break when responsibility has failed and the precedent is the American Civi...
