As I sit at my keyboard ... and poke out this message ... at 1:45pm on September 11, 2006 ...

... I can say ... with absolute certainty ...

... that in the entire history of the human race ... there has never been a more free or more prosperous society than the United States of America is right now ... and all of us who are alive ... here and now ... are the most blessed people who have ever lived.

Therefore ... fully knowing this ... I am more than content to ignore the hysterical rantings of the loony leftists out there ... who neither understand nor appreciate how utterly fortunate they are.
