Can I get on?
Remember this day for what it was, and still is. We live in the greatest Country that has ever existed on this Planet. Do not screw it up.

I’m scared, Miller. Scared for America. Half the population voted for the giggling girl with no brain.
This is the last best hope for mankind. I sure hope we don’t screw it up.
Hope is not a strategy, so I am preparing for the worst, and looking forward to not so bad. Anyway, I will be outta here fairly soon (many of you would appreciate that). My children have their head in the sand. What was will never be again.
Miller, we have to try to sustain and maintain The American Experiment. I am willing to believe that you are one of those who has done their duty in this regard. The Greatest Generation is a hard act to follow.
I think the odds are 50/50, but at least in this country liberty and the sovereignty of the people still have a chance.
I’m praying hard.
Yeah Chris. This is for you.
No leaf collec- oh, nevermind.
