Thank you for “getting it.” :)

Guess what else folks like us "get"? Courage. Such as the courage displayed by men like Stephen Hopkins of Rhode Island, a signer of the Declaration. Take a look at his signature - it's extremely shaky. The story goes that, upon seeing his signature in such sad shape, Hopkins turned to his cohorts and stated, "My hand trembles, but my heart does not."

Let's face it - Hopkins, and the other 55 signers, stared death and destruction in the face, but acted anyhow. What an amazing example they set! Now, it's up to us to honor that legacy.

I'm still waiting for some courageous state government to drop the ultimate nuclear bomb and begin secession proceedings, beginning with their own declaration of independence from a tyrannous government, as is prescribed in the Constitution.

It would start an avalanche.
