i want to look at nathan hale



...because, you know, our forefathers had everything to lose too. They had mortgages, and jobs, and farms, and families, babies, mouths to feed... all of it! Those boys who signed up to stop Hitler wanted to live, but their gratitude and their love were bigger than their bills and their wishes to ignore reality.

All of them knew it was worth their very lives to do the right thing.

I don't think very many of us know that. It's ripping my esophagus out my ears. Thousands are dying at our hands every day, but it's not worth our lives to stop it.

So, yes, I need to look at Nathan Hale.
