It is much more powerful to seek Truth for one's self.  Seeing and hearing that others seem to have found it can be a motivation.  With me, I was drawn because of much error and bad judgment on my part. Confronting one's own errors and bad judgment is a very life altering situation.  Confronting the errors and bad judgment of others is usually hypocrisy.

If cowardly and dishonorable men sometimes shoot unarmed men with army pistols or guns, the evil must be prevented by the penitentiary and gallows, and not by a general deprivation of a constitutional privilege.

Hey you kids!! Get off my lawn!!!

They keep making this eternal vigilance thing harder and harder.  Protecting the 2nd amendment is like playing PACMAN - there's no pause button so you can go to the bathroom.

More than 16,000 white-paper luminarias burn in the darkness, representing the more than 15,000 Union soldiers interred there after the Civil War.

I'm impressed.  I would love to witness that.

One question:  Why not a 1/1 ratio of luminarias/soldiers?  In my mind it takes something away from the display when the numbers are "fudged".
