Happy 220th Birthday, U.S.A.!

July 2, 2006, 16:49

On July 2, 1776, the delegates to the Second Continental Congress voted their independence.

Thomas Jefferson was appointed to draft the declaration. Two days later, with the help of Franklin and Adams...and with some revisions from Congress Jefferson produced the Declaration of Indepedence, which the delegates adopted and began signing. The colonies' richest man John Hancock went first, scrawling his name large enough so that John Bull could "read it without his glasses."

Franklin commented, "Gentlemen, we must now all hang together or certain we shall all hang separately."

Happy Birthday, U.S.A.

Happy birthday, glad to have you around

Within weeks they'll be re-opening the shipyards
And notifying the next of kin
Once again...

Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away.

He also hates Texans and Australians, he does diversify." ~ Braindead

The Party seeks power entirely for its own sake. We are not interested in the good of others; we are interested solely in power. Not wealth or luxury or long life or happiness: only power, pure power.

Obviously that's a freedom that's taken very seriously.
