Linkin

Probably my favorite piece of writing remains to be Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg address. This little speech concise, precise and incisive, brings the emotion to surface. However, this effective literature shouldn't be used for a personal model to rebuild a nation. Rather the speech only honors its heroes. It is after all is said and done, a eulogy.

"...that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth."

Right now, after the last eight years, they are very close to a tipping point - very close indeed.
