People have asked me several times why I didn’t charge to take this class. There were several reasons: 1) Anyone could have led these discussions – which you often did! 2) Taking money makes you a professional. Nuff said? 3) Choice and Accountability for acting on truth is individual and cannot be mandated by any monetary amount, 4) My goal was merely to facilitate and let you decide what to do with the information. My hope is that it burned deeper patriotism into your heart and that you will be able to do the hard things and bear the burdens that may be placed thereon which we all will face in the future.
Thanks for all you taught us, and added to my life. It has been a pleasure.
