Tonight I went to see Glen Beck Speak for the first time. He
had some great things to say. I haven’t
been a listener or fan, so it was interesting to see what everyone in my area
was raving about. He had a bunch of
historical memorabilia displayed on tables including an original Darth Vader
helmet from the first Star Wars movie in 1978, and a 3.2 million dollar
baseball card. There was just one guy
watching the stuff, but everything was so chill, no (visible) security guards,
etc. Of course there were no signs
saying the values of the pieces, and I only found out during his presentation about
the value of the card, but it shows how trusted we were that he would bring it
out to show us.
I got a pic of me behind the Vader mask. It was a lot bigger than I thought. Why was the mask displayed? Because evil never looks like this in real life.
The take away message I got from the whole talk, was we as a
nation need to focus back on principles, not stuff and safety. Stand up for and
teach our children what our country was founded on, we need to work our muscles
of standing for goodness, and not let them atrophy into complacency and keep
our heads down. Reminds me of a quote I once
heard. ‘The only thing it takes for evil to prevail is for good people to do
nothing’. (The picture on the table in front of the mask is one of the flyers our military dropped prior to the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki telling people to evacuate the target cities. "What made America great is that America was good!")
