"They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety."
Ben Franklin
I could not think how to say this, but retired Navy SEAL Tom Rancich could.

I read somewhere that one could increase their inherent happiness by writing down three things about their day which made them happy. Doing this for two weeks increased happiness for six months. I like this idea, but I think I'll use a 3+1 option where I also get to rant about something as well. What can I say? Ranting makes me happy. And blogging this way, no one has to listen against their will.

- KC, MO, United States
- I'm an engineer who left historic Boston for sunny southern California. Then I found a house to rehab in KC MO to be closer to family. We'll see how this goes.

That has been one of my favorite quotes for the longest time, and it's been constantly in my mind since shortly after the attacks of 9/11/01
