Preamble to the Declaration of Independence

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 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.

Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object, evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.

Howdy, PRO!

How’s your weekend been so far? Did your son ever get a chance to pop over for a while?

[SandRat]

Happy Birthday U.S.A.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, mountainlion....what a piece of trash.
We need more national pride and the sooner he's gone, the better.

[PROCON]

Yo, Hi radu!

Uneventful weekend so far. Son was over today and left just a bit ago.

Tomorrow I'm going to the VFW for the big breakfast they have every Independence Day.

Not sure after that, fireworks aren't allowed in this county because of the dry weather we have. I have a bunch of bottle rockets I'm itching to shoot off :-)

[radu]

Well good. At least he was able to get over there at last. It’s a shame he couldn’t make it the other day when you’d planned to check out the WWII planes.

We went to watch the fireworks show in the next town over and though they were cool, they shot them off way too fast and it was over in 15 minutes!!! They normally go 45 minutes.

After we got home, I decided I just HAVE to shoot SOME fireworks this year - LOL - so went to the tent we always shop at and bought a few multi-shot packs. It’s dark now and I’m getting ready to head out to light ‘em up! It’s been awfully dry here but we got rain this afternoon and we’re good to go for fireworks. YAY!

Be back very shortly. I only got 6 packages so it won’t take long.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Janey...((HUGS))...having a “birthday party” for Independence Day?

[Kathy in Alaska]

Hello Veterans, wherever you are!!

[MEG33]

Happy Birthday America

God Bless Our Beloved Country
Wishing A Great Independence Day To The Canteen
*Thank You To All Who Serve Our Country*

[SkyDancer]

Ya! In the middle of flipping burgers for the gang this evening and having the ribs soaking in sauce ready for dad to get up around midnight to get the slow cooker going. There is fun afoot!

[SkyDancer]

Whoops, forgot

Had my finger on the trigger reading what I wrote and it just got tired and tripped the clicker.

[radu]

Howdy, MEG!

Hope you’re having a grand weekend.

[radu]

Well, that didn’t take nearly as long as I’d have liked. LOL! Can’t remember when I last shot off so few fireworks. But they were good ones and were a way to celebrate Independence Day a day early. Was afraid to wait until tomorrow evening because they’re calling for a good chance of rain.

I think everyone else in the county thought the same. It sounds like a war zone out there right now. LOL

[MEG33]

Thank you, Radu...Having a quiet restful weekend here...

Happy Fourth!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Thanks, Mac, for the Missing Man Setting as we remember those who have given their all that we may gather safe and secure.

[radu]

It’s been a quiet one overall here, to - until a few minutes ago - since we didn’t make any plans this year. Last week was fairly hectic so quiet feels good. :-)

[Kathy in Alaska]

Thanks, and a Happy Independence Day to you as well.

You and son spending time together to celebrate the birth of our nation?

[luvie]

Remember our troops!
They help to keep us free!
God Bless America!!

Good evening, radu....and Happy Independence Day!

[PROCON]

Hi Kathy, son and I hung out today, not sure about tomorrow.

God Bless America.

[PROCON]

Can’t remember when I last shot off so few fireworks.

Well just go out early tomorrow and BUY MORE, they should have reduced prices! :-)

Even though they're banned here I've been hearing them going off all day.
