Reply #8: "the only thing we have to fear is fear itself" [View All]

once upon a time americans were afraid and a great man gave them hope for a better future.my mother and father`s generations were afraid and this man did not give them fear but hope, hope that tomorrow would be better than yesterday. he believed that our government, through the social contract with it`s people, had the responsibility to help all no matter their lot in life. my mother and father told me about those days when fear could have torn this country apart and i suppose i have my parents memories ingrained into my soul.
being 60 years old , i realize my time is very short on this earth and i refuse to be afraid. i refuse to believe that this great nation will die because it`s people are afraid. i refuse to dishonor those who lived and died during the war that let me be born in freedom. i refuse to let freedom die because i am afraid.
