When did we lose the 'we' in "We, the People..."? Those who have and are now sacrificing themselves, at times to that 'last full measure' have made their commitment to the dream that is America. Yet, we, as a people, seem to be slipping ever more quickly into a slough where former Yugoslavia or Pakistan are to be found. We have no special dispensation by God preserving us from our own folly. We once came close to destroying ourselves. There's nothing preventing us from doing it again. This time the forces that would see us at each other's throats are those President Roosevelt warned us of in perhaps the greatest and most prescient speech ever given by an American president. June 27th, 1936. Listen for yourself.
