"War is an ugly thing but not the ugliest of things; the decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feelings which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. A man who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself." - John Stuart Mill ----- Original Message ----- From: "Samuel Campbell" <sgt_sam_wash_co@yahoo.com> To: <CAMPBELL-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, February 04, 2006 9:46 AM Subject: RE: [CAMPBELL] RE: CAMPBELL's at Kings Mtn and other RW locations > > Frances, > > MEN have Always Fought for What They Believe in, that is Human Nature > !!!
