chuck kottke Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 Post Your Independence Day Festivities !!!! ++++++++ ========================:) ++++++++ ========================:) ++++++++ ========================:) ++++++++ ========================:) ++++++++ ========================:) =================================:) =================================:) =================================:) =================================:) +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++:sunny: Thomas Paine, writing on a drumhead by campfire's light, after joining the revolution, and facing almost insurmountable odds: "These are the times that try men's souls: The summer solider and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of his country; but he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly - 'Tis dearness only that gives everything its value." Freedom is dangerous. But as Paine aptly pointed out, "if dangerous in the hands of the poor from ignorance. it is at least equally dangerous in the hands of the rich from influence." Guess where we are today!;) Paine's remedy was education and democracy. "numerous electors, composed as they naturally will be, of men of all conditions, from rich to poor."
