This is just a little tidbit, a “thinking out loud” open thread.
Today, I was looking at the picture of the Liberty Bell, a symbol of American freedom that is sheltered at Independence Hall in Philadelphia. The crack in the bell made me start to think about the crack in our current national government of laws. What happened to all those freedoms, the ones that the colonial militias risked their lives for? The Liberty Bell has a huge crack in it, not unlike the major crack that currently exists in our Constitution. Oh, the Founding Fathers must be rolling over in their graves. If they were alive today, they would be leading another revolt. Would you pick your musket and join them?
Just saying…

Oh, I forgot. Guess I better get my suitcase ready. The one thing that I must say is that my adult daughter told me that she is proud of me and her father for the work that we do to try to better this a better nation for her, her husband and their daughter. That’s all I needed to hear.

If I said I don’t own a gun, but if it started to look like we were getting it on, I could get one tomorrow, would the black helicopter show up tonight and find myself in Tunisia tomorrow?

Not just the founding fathers. Lots of folks who made sacrifices for this country must be spinning in their graves.

RUC - meet you there.
I just read something in the Sierra Club magazine about corporations and charters and the Civil War. I’ll investigate it further and when I have all the details, I’ll write something about it.
Sometimes I wish I was a history major instead of a nursing major.

Yes, I would join them.
I’d even bring the tar and feathers.
