"If the citizens neglect their Duty and place unprincipled men in office, the government will soon be corrupted; laws will be made, not for the public good so much as for selfish or local purposes; corrupt or incompetent men will be appointed to execute the Laws; the public revenues will be squandered on unworthy men; and the rights of the citizen will be violated or disregarded."
Happy Fourth of July to you CR and Tanta......thanks for sharing your excellent research and hosting a great blog.
Same to you CR & T - heading off to a Whole Pig BBQ in a few hours, hot & humid just as the 4th should be.

Belated happy 4th.
Dry, that pig didn't have a long, fat tail and a pointy nose, did it?
Ever since Woody Allen's Manhattan I have thought that fireworks need a soundtrack. Thanks, CR!
