Like some people, I\u2019ve tried to watch some of the congressional hearings the past couple of weeks. What with holiday activities gearing up and all, I\u2019ve just caught bits and pieces of the proceedings. I find them interesting in a depressing sort of way. It\u2019s a shame our country has become so divided in so many areas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\u2019m not sure why, but I seem to notice references to things that have happened in the past and quotations from a number of years ago more than I once did. A lot of them seem to fit our situation, as a nation, today. The other day I ran across a quote in a book that I\u2019m reading and it made me think how appropriate it is today\u2026. Here\u2019s the quote\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cA forest takes a century to grow; it burns down in a night.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\u2019m pretty sure the quote wasn\u2019t meant to describe governments or constitutions, but if you\u2019re so inclined, just think about it\u2026.
