"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."
The photo, taken by Shanna, is of a member of the Middlesex County Volunteers fifes and drums. We saw them perform at the Old Granary Burial Ground, the final resting place of John Hancock, Sam Adams, Paul Revere and other patriots, during our recent trip to Boston.

    Wouldn't it be funny if as a nation the US decided to move back in with the parents. "Tell you what Liz, er your highness, we changed our mind. You can tax the tea all you want as long as we get to keep our decent teeth and NASCAR. We'll totally split the rent, but seriously, though, we're not sharing a room with Canada."
