I wish my dad, consumed with “Red, White & Blue Fever” (as were most Americans in the era) his whole life had understood as much as this experienced parent/grandparent did sixty-five years ago.

 

“If you learn only one thing from me, learn this: Government .. is .. NOT .. EVER .. your .. friend; 

it’s motives are ALWAYS suspect. Whatever the government wants to do…there’s ALWAYS an ulterior motive.  

NEVER, NEVER, NEVER, NEVER,  N E V E R  TRUST THE GOVERNMENT!”

                                — H.E. Morton (postmaster, tax assessor, township committeeman, circa 1952) to his 10 year old grandson

No prognostication has become more obvious in recent years!
