These are the times

that try men's souls.  
The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of his country; but he that stands it now deserves the love and thanks of man and woman.
Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us- that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph.
What we obtain to cheap, we esteem too lightly; it is dearness only that gives every thing its value. 

- T. Paine 1776

Personally, I hate it when commenting on other blogs; the 'word' is sometimes so cryptic it takes me four or five tries to get it right.  Love those 'improvements'.

So, it's back on.
Sorry 'bout that.

PS- Are there any alternatives?
