Quote of the day

"And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you -- ask what you can do for your country." – President John Kennedy, inaugural address January 20, 1961.

In the almost 50 years since President Kennedy issued this challenge to our country, ask yourself this: Has America answered his call to action?

In my opinion, no. While there is a level of volunteerism in our society that is commendable, I think the majority of people expect to be served instead of serving others. This is especially true when it comes to all levels of government.
