Let Freedom Ring

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.

It's okay to be late with this one. I remember that painting from last year, and I still love it!

It's good to be reminded of that passage. Especially the last part of it, which is conveniently ignored by the current government!

I didn't know you moved or are moving! I hope it goes well and that you are enjoying the summer.

Does your new place not come with a connection to Typepad? Hmmm? I miss you.
