<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Hoot, post: 12646, member: 1001&quot;]Why is everyone in such a damn hurry?&nbsp; We live with such immediate urges.&nbsp; To honor a man (beyond a nice funeral and recollections) with immediate acts that present us with the bounds of law is one more example of how pathetic our nation has become to have &quot;instant gratification.&quot;&nbsp; I say forget the man.&nbsp; Then, if his deeds are recollected by history as those of an inspired individual, commemorate him, recall him.&nbsp; The spirit of greatness looms and is not forgotten, while the infatuations of partisan politics or personal assuations and the urgencies for the creation of modern heroes is nothing but sore examples of an iconoclastic society.&nbsp; There are many other well-deserving people who are more greatly remembered, as they have been so with the due tests of time.&nbsp; And what of Liberty, Columbia, or America and the vestiges that reside deeply in our American coinage?</p><p><br /></p><p>Hoot[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
