Question: Where are the Thomas Jeffersons, John Adams, George Washingtons, and Ben Franklins of today!?
Are we to suffer the tyranny of spoiled, emotionally immature, pluralistic, morally relativistic, humiliatingly under educated fools of today or is there hope!? Where are the great thinkers, those willing to sacrifice, those willing to debate and put everything they have on the altar of freedom today!?

I just want some of the smartest people in the world to get together and make some really intelligent plans for our future!. Am I without hope!?Www@QuestionHome@Com
