From the Introduction of A Personal Stand:
"I stand for personal responsibility and against anything that undermines it. So much of what I see in our country today represents a hell-bent flight from responsibility to victimhoood. From acting on one's convictions to going along just to get along. From making decisions based on moral principles to taking the easy way out. That's not what the United States of America is about, and that's not the legacy our children should inherit."
I have to say I agree. There is too much whining in the United States when really we should be thankful because even in a recession our lives are way better than the lives of people in most of the rest of the world. Sure not everything is peachy, but if you don't like something, don't wait for someone else (especially the government) to fix it. Do something about it yourself. Prayer would be a good start.
Based on Trace's convictions so far, I think I'll enjoy this book and even learn a few things in general and even about myself.
