This video clip was taken from the movie Amistad of John Quincy Adams (played by Anthony Hopkins),
addressing the U.S. Supreme Court about how freedom is the natural state of mankind. I saw the film
last night and was deeply moved by the part when he talks about invoking our ancestors to give us
wisdom and strength and courage, to do what is right.

I don't know what lies in store for America in 2013. In all honesty I feel a great sense of foreboding.
But as you will hear from this powerful speech: "Who we are, IS who we were." I pray we all
remember this and to hold it firmly in our hearts and in our minds for whatever lies ahead.

I wish all of you peace, prosperity and liberty for 2013 and beyond.
