Frank was a treasured part of the TOL community and had been posting here since 2003.
Frank will be truly missed. God bless him and his family.
Frank's final post on TOL was brilliant.... he will be missed.

Therein lies the problem. The idea that rights are granted or revoked by government is alien to our founding principles. However, as more people are taught to believe that government is superior to or a replacement for God, the more likely that a majority will sink to that level of despair.
