“Our God given unalienable rights are given to us all as individuals. They tell us what me may do for ourselves, and they are the embodiment of liberty.
The so-called rights that government gives to some of us are parcelled out to select groups as classes. They tell us what one class of people may require another to do for them, and they are the very essence of slavery.”— Perri Nelson, February 9, 2010

NEW YORK -- Walter Cronkite, the premier TV anchorman of the networks' golden age who reported a tumultuous time with reassuring authority and came to be called "the most trusted man in America," died Friday. He was 92.
Walter Cronkite, the man who closed his newscasts with “… and that’s the way it is…” is gone. When I was growing up, this man was the evening news. While not truly an objective journalist (he was a liberal to the core), he was one of the best. I even remember watching documentaries hosted by Walter Cronkite in school.
He was an anchorman before there were anchormen. Today’s anchormen and anchorwomen are nothing more than just talking heads really. Walter Cronkite was a newsman. He at least tried to appear objective, unlike newsmen of today that are nothing more or less than partisan hacks.
He will be missed, much more than any other celebrity I would think.
