Today is the day we honer all those that have made our freedom possible.
This line from the movie With Honors seems appropriate,
"Simon Wilder: You asked a question,sir. Let me answer it. The genius of the constitution is that it can always be changed. The genius of the constitution is that it makes no permanent rule other than its faith in the wisdom of ordinary people to govern themselves. Mr. Picannon: The faith in the wisdom of ordinary people is exactly what makes the Consitution imcomplete and crude. Simon: Crude? No, sir. Our founding parents were pompous middle-aged white farmers, but they were also gret men, ebcause they knew one thing that all great men should know: that they didn't know everything. They knew they were going to make mistakes, but they made sure to leave a way to correct them. They didn't think of themselves as leaders. They wasted a government of citizens, not royalty. A government of listeners, not lecturers. A government that could change, not stand still. The president isn't an elected king, no matter how many bombs he can drop, because the crude Constitution doesn't trust him. He's a servant of the people. He's a bum. Ok, Mr. Picannon? He's just a bum. The only bliss that he's searching for is freedom and justice."
The last few days have been chaotic hell for me,
The other day while trying to do 10+ things at once I threw away a bunch of system files on Christine's Macbook by accident. Normally not a big deal except our 10.5 installer disk somehow got damaged as I found out after spending a few hours trying to figure out why it wouldn't boot her laptop so I got to do a restore of her system the hard way doing it manually from a backup. Ended up wasting about a day and a half restoring everything.
Finally got the new 3G iPhone the other day and gave my old one to Christine. Naturally she couldn't activate and setup my old, her new, iPhone until after I got her Macbook up and running again. I don't think we could have picked a worst time to upgrade our cell phones.
All this at the same time I'm on a rather steep learning curve of setting up a network of Video On Demand Theaters. Still have a ton of setup to do but I'm starting to understand how this software works.
