On this Independence Day

Lots of folks are posting the text of the Declaration of Independence, and good for them. But that's not my style. Normally I would write something far more substantial, but due to the holiday my attentions have been required elsewhere. So I will leave you with the following thought:


IF YOU AREN'T ANGRY,


YOU AREN'T PAYING ATTENTION. 
WAKE UP. 

"The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time 

with the blood of patriots and tyrants."
 - Thomas Jefferson, 
3rd President of the United States of America

    I'll excerpt from the Declaration. To me, personally, it is the most important part.
    And sand is running faster though the hourglass.


    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.
