I am sure many have heard the famous quote:
"If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquillity of servitude than the animating contest of freedom, — go from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen! " - Samuel Adams
Go to this site and read the entire speech delivered at the State House in Philadelphia on August 1, 1776. It is a moving oration and its truths remain constant!

I have to say, I'm looking forward to reading your future blogs, and checking out those links. Don't kid yourself, you have better than a tenuous grasp on the English language. Keep writing! Oh, and read my blog if you want. http://discdementia.blogspot.com
Adam,
Thanks for the kind words and I will stop by tonight and give your blog a gander.
