Happy birthday America!
It is hardly too strong to say that the Constitution was made to guard the people against the dangers of good intentions. There are men in all ages who mean to govern well, but they mean to govern. They promise to be good masters, but they mean to be masters. - Daniel WebsterMexican Kerry wrote:Except for Viv. I predict she will be the leader of a group that roams the countryside pillaging for survival.

Since we're being pedantic, there is no such thing as "Independance Day."kokopelli wrote:Happy Independance Day.
The fourth of July is the date, not the holiday. You don't tell people 'Merry 25th of December'!
Because there is no "a" in "independence."
In any case, Happy July 5th!
