And thank God for that if it was only true; unfortunately those champions of freedom are getting older and there aren't people of that quality- perhaps in part due to these old warriors who paved the way for the benefits we all enjoy today- just aren't needed in the same urgent capacity they once were. Or perhaps we've mostly been brain washed into thinking our government officials "know what's best for us". I sincerely hope the former is true.
