Once upon a time...in America

Here's a near-perfect and succinct description from a friend of what has happened to America...thought it appropriate to share at this time.

ONCE UPON A TIME, there was a country that was discovered by people looking for freedoms, a new way of life and prosperity. The country was so free and God-loving, that many more people found their way to its shores. The country had leaders then, that were God- fearing, just and fair. The leaders loved the country and took care of it by giving the people Rules and Laws to follow.

In time, there were wars that came and went. The people so loved this country that they died for it; they wanted to keep their freedoms and children safe. Then, as time passed, some of the people became greedy, lazy and god-less: they didn't seem to care anymore about the Founders' laws and rights. They wanted the Government to take care of them, so, they gave up their freedoms and rights. Those people had forgotten that there were people who died for them to keep the country free. Then, the great country fell from the grace of God. ONCE UPON A TIME.
