"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...."
Those words were approved by the Second Continental Congress 86,563 days ago. Notice (as was recently pointed out to me) the source of rights. Notice also the function of Government the source of its power. I think we could all stand to read a little more about where our country came from. I recommend here http://www.archives.gov/exhibits/charters/declaration.html for starters. In the immortal words of Forrest Gump "that's all I have to say about that."
According to the website I use to calculate my dates, July 4, 1776 was also a Thursday. I thought that was interesting.
I decided not to blog last week. I also decided not to blog about not blogging. I think I might be better off only blogging when I have something to say. (Some might say that's the same as not blogging at all. And they'd probably agree with the sentiment.) I obviously didn't blog a whole lot this week either.
But I can retire in 590 days, so get off my lawn.
