What is the cost?  Clearly we have spent billions to make our country secure. It is time to ask some fundamental questions.

What do we want our country to be?

A quasi-militarized state where suspicion is a norm?

Where the battlefield is in our backyard? Is there a political purpose?

Do we want to live with the mindset of scarcity?

Do we want energy to continue to get a larger share of our personal budgets?

More importantly, what do we want for our future?

The time to dream is now. Dream of an abundant future. Dream of a future filled with opportunity, where problems are addressed with the best minds and swept out of the way to make room for higher callings.

This country was founded on principals of liberty and the abolishment of tyranny.  Our Declaration of Independence clearly stated the principle of our founding. If there were a time to review our founding document the time is now.

We need to envision a boundless future, instead of the political, racial, religious squabbling that has cloud our vision for the past 6 or 7 years.  We must demand an abundant future and seek leadership based on experience, not pandering promises.
