“Sigh. We just do what we can, when we can.”
While we quietly prepare for the impending war, of ideals or worse.

“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.”

Remember that those who signed in agreement risked losing all, including their lives. I read an Iranian “tweet” this weekend, that was scrolling on Fox or CNN, and it said the following,
“I have one vote, I gave it to Moussari. I have one life, I will give it for freedom.”
It is chilling how comfortable we are in our warm pots....
Beautiful, CSM.... Those who signed the DoI pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor.
They thought Liberty was worth it.
Perhaps they were just better men than we have around nowadays....
And I use "men" in the generic here — i.e., including women too.
I'm "keeping my chin up," CSM! You do the same!
