You know those people that want to tell you how to raise your kids but have none of their own? That is how i feel when someone with a kitchen appliance tells me how the merits or dis-merits of my machine or how to use it.
Also, I note your quote, "Those who would give up Essential Liberty to purchase a little Temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety." Benjamin Franklin". I am seeing that more often now than not. A big thumbs up to it from me.

Those are cinnamon chip but she is quite a baker so you never know :)
That is one of favorite quotes and once lost I do not believe our country has the strength of character to win it back.

I saw another quote today that essentially coincides with Ben Franklin's:
"Where the people fear the government you have tyranny. Where the government fears the people you have liberty." John Basil Barnhill 1914.
I feel as strongly as you do about these issues.
