RM #1 and her bf commenced the day with a voluble pajama-clad rendition of "Proud to Be an American". They are going hiking. I am going to the office, and then to sleep on a floor in Poultry Plant Town, and then to a work-related retreat. I'll be AFK until Tuesday-ish. Happy Fourth, USians!

BTW, I still think this is a damn fine document. Some of the grievances are, at present, kind of ironic.

Take away the 'foreign' - He is at this time transporting large Armies of foreign Mercenaries to compleat the works of death, desolation, and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of Cruelty & Perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the Head of a civilized nation. - and here you have a snapshot of your average head of state.

Some things clearly never change.
