This video features the very timely presentation by Dr. Victor Davis Hanson at Hillsdale College, in Hillsdale, MI, on topics from his bestselling book, "The Dying Citizen: How Progressive Elites, Tribalism, and Globalization Are Destroying the Idea of America." He is introduced by Dr. Mark A. Kalthoff, the Henry Salvatori Chair in History and Traditional Values and Dean of Faculty at Hillsdale College.

“Mr. Hanson, an accomplished classicist and a senior fellow at the Hoover Institution, is one of the great amalgamators of American political writing. He has a particular gift for bringing together a dizzying array of events, controversies and ideas and making sense of them by advancing a coherent argument that incorporates thousands of years of history… Mr. Hanson hits hard, but I don’t find his analysis unfair or partisan. There is enormous value, moreover, in thinking about toxic political developments not as problems of the moment but as destructive pathologies to which all societies are prone at all times.”
-"Wall Street Journal"
“Indispensable… Hanson’s immensely erudite and inspiriting book offers a most welcome corrective to those influential forces and doctrines in our midst that conspire to delegitimize the citizen and citizenship as such. In doing so, he provides us with hope that our society still has within it significant powers of rejuvenation.”
-"National Review"
“As Victor Davis Hanson shows in his learned, powerful, and troubling new book, 'The Dying Citizen,' the steady devolution of citizenship speaks volumes about where we are today and where we seem to be heading… Hanson lays out this grim diagnosis with his usual clarity and brilliance, moving easily from his deep specialized knowledge of the ancient Greek and Roman world through savvy observations about present-day politics and American society.”
-"The New Criterion"
“Citizenship brings all the enduring principles of democracy into the sphere of the individual. It honors the human need for a collective identity even as it makes room for the individual to pursue happiness. In this remarkably illuminating book, Victor Davis Hanson shows how so many contemporary problems-identity politics, the border crisis, bloated government, etc.-have only worsened for the lack of a vigorous and clarifying idea of citizenship. In this deeply democratic idea, Hanson points to a way beyond what ails us.”
-Shelby Steele, author of "Shame"

I am watching this in 2023 .... this presentation is clear and concise understanding of what has been the progressive erosion of humanity ... it's critical to understand the enemy within, only then can we make the changes that are necessary and honourable.
So true!
I like everything Mr Hanson has to say, and believe all senior high school students should be exposed to his ideas, thoughts, beliefs, if they want to be productive members of society.
What I find that makes this man unique is the fact that he is grounded by his connection to the family farm. That alone keeps him from drinking the kool-aid that is Stanford, the west coast elite or east coast ideology. He is connect to the every day man and real life through his farm.
My son is 6 years old and I’m already introducing him to Mr. Hanson. Thank you sir for your great work.
😅
i watch this over and over..we love hillsdale because they hold the proper standards according to traditions..and we love prof.hanson because of his logical brilliance...thank you so much for this stabilizing education and reminders
We need thousands more just like mr Hanson repeating educational speeches like the one we just heard I wish we had millions like him
We do have millions who support these views. They just are shouted down and not heard.
A man that talks common sense!
.....and there's very little of that at the moment.
I’m a Brit and have been a fan of VDH for over year now, I listen in the car and nod my head in approval at his observations of daily life. 🇬🇧
Brilliant presentation. I have never felt guilty of my western civilization and neither should any citizen in the greatest and freest nation the world has ever known…Professor Hanson in his own way makes you proud to be an American 🇺🇸
True, and the agenda expects us all to be anti western civilization countries. Renounce everything that has to do with, and become what overall aren't at all. A melting pot is one thing, completely otherwise, it's not happening.
Absolutely. Why should anyone feel ashamed of being a citizen? US culture is desired by many, but few are willing to study how it works.
I would never bring shame to My Country and I have always been Proud. Pride comes from what We ourselves contribute in the form of achieving at every opportunity possible, small or large. I served My Country Honorably, then used those skills to start My own business for 27 years. I always treated and performed for my customers to the highest standards of Trade and never had to apologize for anything. Citizens of this Country that are ashamed or embarrassed are either not utilizing even Minute offers available to only American's. I see the Woke and other Haters of America are actually miserable, lazy, non-competitive, unmotivated and afraid to Fail over the slightest risk. They Blame their inept abilities on this Beautiful United States of America, the Land of Opportunities only Bound by their Own Boundaries "they" have installed! These are the People that are helping the destruction Dr. Hansen identified. I am strong in nature, never discontempt for anyone type person or race, but these individuals from all aspects have Pissed Me off to no end! They also lack awareness of repercussions of their actions. Myself and Patriotic Bros. and Sisters are out of patience and if it means them or America's Existence......................We will gladly assist them to the 'wide open southern border,' expenses paid. Maybe after a year or so of receiving Real Socialism and lawlessness these people could end up becoming the best Citizens' of the Greatest Constitutional Republic in History!
You may be lucky, but many American's don't feel proud precisely because of what Hanson said this so-called 'civilization' has done to them.
That's a good un😂 "The land of the fee and the home of the ( oblivious city zen) slaves" - "free" 😂 Yeah right ?!? - that is complete non sense. The us is the opposite of free. It is and always has been enslaved.
If you dont work a slave job, enriching and obeying slave bosses and managers , for to earn money and give the govs the lions share of your slave labor/money , that they armed rob it from you - And if you don't oney the govs- you can't survive, not "legally. Youll likely find yourself kidnapped and caged by the criminal thig slave drivers called cops - And you can't buy / trade your slave labor for no liberty / permit/ permission to do anything. Unless you work a slave job, obey, and pay the slave lords called govs the lions share of your slave labor.
And your only other option for survival other than working a slave job - is to do crime / illegal stuff - Which will get you kidnapped and caged if you get caught.
INCLUDING AND ESPECIALLY IF YOU TRY TO LIVE FOR FREE AND FREELY IN NATURE THE WAY OUR CREATORS (our father and Yahshua the christ) INTENDED/ designed and built us and programmed us to do. Actual freeness as opposed to slavery is illegal in the us. That means that the us has never been free , it has always been a enslaved by the devil / rebellion/ civy lies nation. And the big AC Lucifer is clearly the "in god they trust/ the us govs trust ".
The very first thing the us govs did was to torture and murder the free folks into extinction, and they forced the survivors into subjection/ enslaved the survivors.
And the us is a shiney beacon of slaves who think that slavery in the devil's civy lies nations and religions = freeness . And The us is one of the most enslaved civy lies nations and religions in the world.
"Working for money( is still )slavery to the evil masters of the devil/ the rebellion lead by the OG called the big AC "Lucifer"/ the OG 6-6-6 gang. " And " Money is still the root of all of the evil in the devils civy lies nations and religions."
How have only 90,000 people watched this? Mr. Hanson has a great mind.
They're too busy watching educational programs like "Keeping Up with the Kardashians."
Hahaha, over 70 million Americans voted for Trump. 90,000 watching this is the best you could hope for.
The American empire is in collapse.
Small college + unfriendly algorithms
Political correctness = Lay down
Tolerance = Surrender
Immigration = Dilute the ability to reach consensus.
Legalized Drugs = Keep the Electorate high, keep expectations low.
Covid = MASKquerade
Result = The 2020 unconstitutional Presidential sElection.
All combined = The most insidious means in world history to overthrow a Nation.
Note: America is not collapsing, the former “United” States of America is being dismantled by design and only approximately twenty percent of D.C. representatives are committed to Americas preservation, meaning approximately eighty percent in D.C. are misrepresentives who are knowingly or unknowingly presiding over Americas dismantling.
Status quo = Americas CONtinued decline, denigration, decimation and dismantling.
Trump, MAGA = Americas restoration and preservation 🙏🏻🇺🇸🙏🏻
@@kendavies945 Biden's CCP business partners want America to collapse and be easier to conquer. Did you think COVID was a CCP accident? LOL NOT AN ACCIDENT.
Oh man!! He is SO on point about the prerogatives of the military leaders we have right now. I wish EVERYONE who fought in The Vietnam war and our remaining veterans from WW11 would hear this man.
I don't think I'd ever get tired of listening to this gentleman speak! The whole world could benefit from his knowledge!! To me, in these crazy times...people doing bad things to each other and all, getting right with ALMIGHTY GOD, the ONE who made us in HIS image, and HIS SON, my YESHUA, (the GOD, who saves HIS people), when every thing catches on fire, it'll sure come in handy to be '"raised up in the clouds, in a glorified new body,'" while the ones that don't, '"prepare yourself for the devil and his angels'" IT IS WRITTEN, AND I BELIEVE!!!!!!!
Liberty without VIRTUE is not worth much. Virtue is what we are missing the most.
Well said !
YOU. BETCHA’‼️
Thank you so much Victor Hanson for your wealth of knowledge and your generosity of bringing your knowledge to the masses. God Bless you sir 🇺🇸
Victor, you are an unmitigated blessing. I thank God for you. God bless and keep you.
Love Mr.V.D.H. He's a national treasure. He's a breath of fresh air. He's truthful with a sense of humor. He deserves the honors.🎉 He's worked for them.
I wake up, and listen to the VDH podcast. At lunch I watch VDH videos. At night I fall asleep to the VDH podcast. I spend more time with this man than my family.
Absolutely fantastic and accurate speech. The world needs more of this.
Amen
So right.
Brilliant Man!!!!!!!!!!!!
VDH has an uncanny way of simply highlighting and explaining otherwise complicated topics. Despite his personal points of view he is able to deliver his analysis in a matter of fact unbiased way.
Statistics don't lie and private subcontractor criminals against humanity cages went in 1980, Same year as pts"disordered"= LIE.
Nothing and I mean nothing gets past God.
Why is he able to do that “despite” his point of view on issues? I don’t understand what you mean. I think the man hammers it home because he stands where he does in terms of his ideology and politics, not in spite of them. He’s a man of honesty, integrity and he backs up what he communicates unlike so many who speak out loud without the benefit of facts at their disposal.
@@Freedomtospeak1 despite his views I mean he’s able to rely on the FACTS related to any issue rather than the rhetoric. His views are informed by the facts and I think his personal beliefs mirror that. He also looks at contrary facts to make the best case he can based on all the facts. A lot of people allow their personal beliefs to create a confirmation bias. Not VDH.
@@Freedomtospeak1 - You are correct sir!
Please America, listen to this man. Such clarity!
Brilliant absolutely brilliant man. A national treasure. God bless you sir.
Amen
If I could, I know, I know it sounds authoritarian, but I would force woke leftists to listen to VDH lectures every day on the loop because one is not enough.
@@Lilac21248 Totally understandable feeling. Doesn't mean we'd actually force this on them, but we can dream, can't we? Certainly, we are free to FEEL this way! 😎
I totally agree with EVERYTHING VICTOR says.He is my favourite person !!
@@Lilac21248 - I'll second that motion.
Make videos with VDH more often than 6 months old! Victor is a voice that returns common sense to the ignorant country that we have become!!
Thank you! It's always very interesting to listen to Victor Davis Hanson. Also for us in Scandinavia. Greetings from Norway.
Agreed, greets from Finland
Welcome.
Tore - I think Victor Davis Hanson is of Norwegian descent.
@@foxtrotjulietbravo5536 Almost Norway. I think it is our neghbor country: Sweden.
@@foxtrotjulietbravo5536 Swedish. If you take his (free) class at Hillsdale he mentions his family history early on.
Dear professor, I have been your admire since I listened to you the first time years ago. You are such a great bright light in these confused times!!!. Thank you again. You are a rainbow of understanding. Thank you again!!
When I see VDH on tv I can’t help but to stop and listen. Such wisdom is rare these days.
I’ve had some great professors that I couldn’t get enough of. This man is the best I’ve ever heard.
Victor Hanson is not only brilliant, he's extremely knowledgeable and articulate. When you add to that the fact that he's very sensible
and seems to have a great grasp on how the world is and how it should be, it's hard to understand why he has never run for President
or at least for U.S. Senator. I'm 91 years old and consequently have seen a number of both of them and believe that he is as well
suited to be the President of the United States as any that we have had in my lifetime. I would consider it an honor to assist him
in any small way that I could to attain that goal for the good of our country. Perhaps someone who is younger could even start a
grass roots campaign to draft him for the job.
I doubt he would be interested ….in upending his life. I suspect he would an excellent advisor though
I have never seen someone of such a genius level, that seems so humble, and approachable.
Victor Davis Hansen and Thomas Sowell are two of the clearest , articulate, and profound thinkers and commucators of ours or any other time.
@@tomrussell7061 - Just before watching this video I watched a video of Thomas Sowell! Seriously, Tom, I couldn't agree with you more.
He’s very smart and schooled. Genius? Is he also a concert pianist?
That's was much more common in Christian America before the democrat party took GOD, prayer the Ten Commandments and Bible study out of the American schools and the public square and replaced them with atheism as the official religion of the American schools and the public square in the 1960's.
Now it's just a bunch of atheistic fools.
Think about this, gender fluidity absurdities fundamentally changed America into Sodom and Gomorrah on steroids.
Obama did that.
Now he wouldn't of been able to do that if the GOD hating baby killing KKK slave democratic party hadn't of gotten GOD, prayer, the Ten Commandments and Bible study out of the American schools and the public square in the 1960's.
It took about 50 years to dumb down the masses in America too get too that point.
❤@@tomrussell7061q❤
I have become addicted to watching anything I can get my hands on to hear VDH speak. What a great mind. I wish everyone would spend some time listening to his words of wisdom.
My hope is that this MSG gets shared with as many people in the United States as possible and thank you sir.
VDH is simply great. His lectures via youtube, I can easily refer back to the early days of the Republic:
“The safeguard of morality is religion, and morality is the best security of law and the surest pledge of freedom.”
- Alexis de Tocqueville
"Only virtuous people are capable of freedom. As nations become more corrupt and vicious, they have more need of masters."
- Benjamin Franklin
“The American Republic will endure until the day Congress discovers that it can bribe the public with the public's money.”
- Alexis de Tocqueville
VDH - we are so grateful that you share your knowledge and insight into the times of the past and those we live in today. Your voice is so important to our country.
country? you are a european you do not own a blade of grass on this land.
@@joaniebarc6763 Screw you, I'll take Hanson for my country, clearly the USA do not want VDH haha
@@joaniebarc6763 every person born here has a right to be here just as every native American
I would love to hear him live. Shake his hand. I greatly respect and admire him.
I wish more people would listen to him. And heed his words.
Yes I do agree with you that a lot of people need to hear this man but most of the people tha need to watch him say he's racist if they listen to him which we all know he's not. He just speaking the truth
Everything you said Sir. Is perfection and truth!!!!!!!!!! We all need to listen to people like this and stand strong and I have to say he gave me hope for the first time because the truth is they can have their ideas but if we the people don’t want it is can’t come to be stay strong keep fighting they have a lot of power but they can’t do anything with it if we say no and we stand strong and together we can beat this!!!!!!!!
😮
I have never been bored or disappointed listening to any lecture or speaking assignment of Professor Dr. Hanson, he tells it as it is all the time every time.
Bless you Prof.
Good afternoon everyone ! Wow ! God bless this gentleman ! He is blessed with wisdom, compassion , ! It's the first time I hear him !!! He's a blessing !💛🎖❤👍👍
He gets better every time he listens to him, and your I'm a and your skill of words will improve
VDH is a genius with a calming demeanor!
Philadelphia, 1787. The delegates to the Constitutional Convention are just leaving Independence Hall, having decided on the general structure for the new United States. A crowd had gathered on the steps of Independence Hall, eager to hear the news. A sturdy old woman (sometimes referred to as “an anxious lady”), wearing a shawl, approached Benjamin Franklin and asked him, “well, Doctor, what do we have, a republic or a monarchy?” Franklin replied sagely, “a republic, if you can keep it.”
That republic failed in 1860, and we are better off because of it.
thats from alastair cookes america series.
Its still republic. The supreme court decided that corporations are people , this of course to keep legal definition of republic, for the corporation by the corporation.,
@@thomasreaves588 Really ! Where can i read that account and why are we better off ?
@@poncedeoly469 I see what you did there 😂😂😂😸👍😉
The lack of people like VDH is what’s wrong with the nation today. Those of us old enough to remember Carl Sagan know exactly what I mean. A calm, intelligent, well spoken and life experienced voice of reason is something that is required to hold a society together, given the inevitable hard times everyone will face in life, no matter the issue itself. You need to hear someone like this every once in a while to pull you up, and put you back on track when life takes you too far off the rails. I could listen to this guy talk all day long, truly a National treasure he is. I would love a one in one with him and a bottle of scotch 😎 🍻
You speaking of this brilliant Victor Davis "The Case for Trump" Hanson • reminds me of where someone else in the broadcast range of Hoover Institute Peter Robinson interview of brilliant conservative Thomas Sowell; refers the internet audience of Mr. Sowell also as being a "national treasure." This strikes me as 'seeing' that far more of us need to be like these ingenious conservatives and far less like these damn treacherous Judas-like, Christ-betraying, damned devilish, leftwingers all throughout America.
He has so much knowledge at his fingertips and can communicate it flawlessly.
@@4240lmurray I agree
Common Sense, is not really common. Too many people have removed themselves from the commonality that unites US.
🙏🏻🇱🇷🙏🏻✌️
An insightful and historical overview of being a citizen.
Do you really remember, appreciate and respect being a citizen?
May GOD bless.
DON'T JUST TALK ABOUT IT, LET'S STEP OUT IN FAITH AND JUST DO IT...
Wow! That was refreshing. I could get depressed, but I do trust that we reap what we sow.
I could binge listen to this man all day long. Thank you.
Mr. Davis is a breath of fresh air. He blows the water out every professor in the country.
*_"He blows the water out every professor in the country."_*
That's not a complimentary thing to say and is in fact mildly lewd, though I assume you meant it in a favorable way. Was what you were trying to say is *_"He blows every professor in the country out of the water."?_* That's an old Naval saying meaning the enemy ship was totally destroyed. You might consider avoiding colloquialisms that you don't understand or cannot relate accurately. Because it doesn't matter what you mean, that's open to interpretation if what you say isn't accurate. In colloquial American English what you said could be interpreted to mean you think Victor Davis Hanson is gay and he's not.

Dr. Victor Davis Hanson is brilliant and I'll never tire listening to him.
He blows hot air out of his mouth. 🥵
Thankfully there those like Victor Davis Hanson who speak good common sense and truth. Thank you to Independent Institution for presenting this. I see a little over 51,000 viewed this. It should be 51 million.
81 million idiots who voted for Biden
One of five people I can stand listening to.
I salute you with flying colors, we need people like you Mr. VD Hanson in the media.
Nowadays few professors like Davis ! We definitely need more !
Beautiful speech, no notes.
VDH is the wisest man in the world.
The saying, those who don't study history are doomed to repeat it, comes to mind when listening to Mr. Hansen. As chaotic as this world has become, and I think this is by design, Mr. Hansen knows enough history, to understand what is essentially going on, and who the characters are moving the levers of power, and what are the forces behind these modern ideals of white privaledge, globalisation, wokeness, etc.
Dr. Hanson, thank you for your efforts, and most of all, your Courage. I pray for you and your family and hope you have an escape plan. Gerald.
Thank you professor!
Mr Hanson is the greatest speaker I should say one of the greatest definitely my favorite I could listen to him 24 seven he’s full of great ideas and every thing I’ve ever listen to I agreed with he’s definitely in my opinion a genius
Truth truth truth! We are starving for such truth. Thank and may God bless you.
Brilliant man, Dr. Victor Davis Hanson thank you
"Some Crowds are more Equal to others" funny and powerful, love VDH
I enjoy listening to your wise talks.
I really appreciate you, VDH. I am Canadian- we have nothing like you, and we are lost to China anyway. If someone like you spoke up, as the PPC did, they would be "cancelled".
Outstanding work !!! Spread the word
I appreciate this man's speaking ability , to make his point (s) succinctly and accurately. Regarding his comments on bureaucracy, a study was done on bureaucracy and discovered that across multiple disciplines : government, business, education, medicine, religion and others, bureaucracies are successful in one thing : creating more bureaucracy.
Brilliant Professor Hanson. Wish he could have been one of my professors.
Michael Savage has been expounding on this for years: borders, language, culture.
Astute & clear thinking man. I will love to sit down with him.
This talk was a year ago, and even more relevant today. We are heading in the wrong direction.
Time well-spent! Thank you Victor Davis Hanson! I'm grateful!
We need to be United in combating illegal immigration. We cannot afford to lose everything! Victor Davis Hanson is one VOICE OF REASON we have to listen to!
Mr. Victor Hanson would make a great President!!
Always a pleasure to hear VDH speak. His new book The Dying Citizen is the best I’ve read in quite some time
'We have to remember that this idea of a multi-racial, multi-ethnic democracy has never been tried before." ~ Victor Davis Hanson
Nnot true, ancient Mediterranean was a meltingpot
George Ticknor Curtis recognized this long before VDH. Unfortunately, the Federalist Society believes the Executive position is the only position of importance in our Republic. As such, they have no qualms about undermining our country's Republic.
@@poncedeoly469 Nope it was not, it was different tribes of WHITES

I should have gotten a degree in classical studies. That would have been fun and a breeze, because of memory and love for, because my interest level high. I had no idea that existed when I went to college. Basically it was pick a college, and go, decide there on what going to study for a degree. I had no adult advice about it. I was on my own, but it was paid for by my parents. The only class I had somewhat similar, ancient civilizations, I loved it, probably got an A. Taught by Sister Veronica. She was a really good teacher, considered hard by some others, but I didn't think so. She had the best character and temperament. She was an angel.
Farmers have a lot of wisdom
The saddest lesson of history is this. If we've been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject all evidence of the bamboozle. We've been captured. It's just simply too painful for us to admit, too, ourselves we've been taken. If a charlatan takes power over you, you almost never get it back.
Carl Sagan
Hanson presents a compelling discussion. Whether you agree with him or not, his clarity of mind is evident. I notice that the Wikipedia article about Dr. Hanson avoids the typical sensationalized wording that other figures endure.
I don't know if you've noticed during the Q&A session that VDH leaves the podium to face the person posing the question; and, subsequently returns to the podium to give his answer to the audience. VDH is a humanitarian... A farmer... A man with common-sense realities coupled with intense insight and a rigorous methodology towards deductive logic. Much like a farmer going to work in the pre-dawn hours, VDH goes right to the source of the question, as opposed to remaining at the podium, as all [other] orators do. VDH is a phenomenal human-being... Literally clone-worthy!
When I attended college in the 1960's I was taught Keysian economics.. The belief then wasn't that you don't have to pay back the debt, but that you did not have to place limits on it. They never could convince me of that.
9-21-23= Thank you for making so much sense. We need you and people like you to train our next generation of teachers!
Thank you, VDH. Looking forward to reading "The Dying Citizen".
VDH is right again AND I will say this is the easiest most free form manner I have seen him give a speech ever. Good Job, keep it up because this sort-of delivery will appeal to the young and we will persuade more. BECAUSE remember Rome fell because we forgot what it was to be Roman as we were meeting our barbarian mandate. JUST like America something is different now but we must remember what it is to be American. VDH can help.
🇺🇸 YOU ARE SO ON TARGET 🎯
The guy is great ...we should all listen !
Possibly the most brilliant political/historical mind in the world.
Listen to this man!
I love listening to you speak Mr. Hansen. More people (especially young people) need to hear true wisdom.
Lord, almighty, Please let our Constitutional Republic, Continue. Amen.
Victor Davis Hanson for President Or at least a cabinet member, Secretary of State.
I love listening to VDH.
At last!! A really knowledgeable man& speaks our language!!!!
❤️🇺🇸❤️ VDH IS SPOT ON !
Awesome!!! Inspiring!!! Also, amazingly realistic. VDH's breadth of knowledge and his comprehension of both the past and present are staggering. This is one of his best speeches.
Victor you are a parallel to God. I totally enjoy listening to you. You are a history lesson that is a pleasure to listen to.
May God continue to keep you well and out of harms way. Keep up all your excellent work that is based on ALL truths.
What happened in Afghanistan? The military was following the orders of apparent leaders who seem to be enemies within. Why did the military not follow their own rules? You don't give up the base! You take out or destroy any old equipment or technology you cannot take! You evacuate your people, not give up your base and then find you can't bring them out! You don't leave them there to get murdered! You don't give your military equipment and technology to the adversary to copy and use against you! You don't give the enemy lists of all your vulnerable places so they can attack them.
Very nicely spoken.n all rite.thank you sir..outstanding speach.or clear explanation
.elliquently said.n communicated.with honor.god bless.you and you're household.
He's good at backing up anecdotes with statistics.
He is so right on in his insight. He expressed everything that I have been thinking but he expresses it so clearly.
Very good and appreciate you supplying this.
So well put. Statues are not going before a city council; they are being taken down nocturnally.
I love this guy
Thank you so much.
Thank God for Victor Davis Hanson. Bring & sharing his knowledge to the Common Sense audience. The problem still remains; Common Sense, is not really common.
God hear our prayers for Mercy & Grace that VDH will lighten the path of US.
