"In God We Trust, Everyone Else....Show Us Your Hands..."

That is one of the "U.S.M.C. Rules For Gunfighting" and it is very appropriate for us to use in our everyday lives. We cannot take what we hear on the radio, or read in the newspapers anymore as the truth without making sure we verify what we are hearing or reading. We have to depend on ourselves instead of depending on others, and that goes for everything we do. When we sleep at night, do we intrust the safety of our family and home to someone else? Or do we make sure that our family members are safe under our care? Or do we just assume that someone is looking out for them and never worry about their safety? We need to understand that our rights and liberties require the same care to make sure they do not dissapear while we sleep/ Are we up to this? Can we spaer enough time to make sure that our liberties and freedoms will be there when we wake up tomorrow?
