      Here’s a question - when the Continental Congress decided that the world needed a better place to live, how many people died? I mean excruciating, limbs-severed, starved, lead-poisoned, disease-ridden, freezing to death?
      In the last 20 or so years, how many people have died on that same altar in Ukraine?
      NONE.
      Mocking is easy - emotions have run high, political ideals have been expressed freely by all, without a war. Nobody starving, no cities or irreplaceable historical landmarks destroyed, no parentless families.
      Go Ukraine.
