yesterday i heard a wonderfully informative reading of an old jeff jacoby 4th of july editorial from the boston globe.

it went into great detail on the commitments that the signers of the declaration made to pledge their wealth and lives to insure the freedom & independence of the colonies from british rule

in doing so, each of the signitors was committing treason to the throne.

several of those signing the declaration of independence made the ultimate sacrifice to insure this new country's freedom.

many others lost their homes, families, and fortunes in the battle. many went bankrupt

jacoby’s editorial went into great detail with names and events surrounding individual sacrifices made to give birth to this great country.

unfortunately, I have not been able to locate this editorial to post a link for everyone to share for the 4th

I'll keep digging & any help locating this is welcome

“Government is thus twice limited: by its end, to secure our rights; and by its means, which require our consent if they are to be legitimate.”

Amen! (Note that making us virtuous is not a proper end of government.)
