As a parting thought, I was watching an old re-run of the Rifleman from the 60s. In it some prisoners escaped and took over Northfork. Young Mark asks his father, "Could they hold the city?" Lucus' response would be one we all could learn from. "They could take the city, but they couldn't hold it. The only way they could hold the city was if the citizens stopped caring."
When we stop caring, we abdicate our rights. So I thank you and all the others who maintain a vigil watch. Thanks for the heads up.
