"Those who desire to give up freedom in order to gain security will not have,
nor do they deserve, either one." - Benjamin Franklin

You have to love a nation that celebrates its independence every July 4, not
with a parade of guns, tanks, and soldiers who file by the White House in a
show of strength and muscle, but with family picnics where kids throw
Frisbees, the potato salad gets iffy, and the flies die from happiness.  You may
think you have overeaten, but it is patriotism. - Erma Bombeck
