I was so excited to come back from my Christmas vacation to find FREE MAIL in my mailbox! For those of you that don't know, FREE MAIL is mail sent by deployed soldiers. When they are deployed they don't have to pay postage. They write FREE MAIL where the stamp is supposed to go.
Anyway, I had 3 Christmas cards in my mailbox from soldiers that I had sent cards to. It makes me feel really good that I can send a little bit of home half way across the globe! It is even better when I hear back from them!
Thomas Jefferson on Redistribution of Wealth
“To take from one because it is thought that his own productivity has acquired too much, in order to give to others who have not exercised equal industry and skill, is to violate arbitrarily the first principle of association: the guarantee to everyone of a free exercise of his hard work and the profits acquired by it.”
