Phx HAPPY 4th OF JULY!!!!!

That's all folks. Just wanted to say, I'm proud to be American and I LOVE THIS COUNTRY!!!! HOOORAH!!!!! I always like to take some time each Independence Day to reflect on what we have as Americans and what it took to get here. All of the people who died for what makes us great and all of the people who lived to make us strong. I'm greatful for all of the super men and women who gave their all to make this nation great. Like Sir Issiac Newton said, "If I can see far, it's only because I stand on the backs of giants." It's those giants who came before that gave us the ability to be where we are today and to see the possiblitites of our future like no others.
I'm also greatful for people like all of you, intelligent and thoughtful people who come together and make this nation just that much better by giving voice to those who thought they had none; to taking in those who had no place; to offering companionship to those who felt alone. If these aren't principles upon which this nation was built then we must be living in two different countries. You guys are awesome and I respect and appreciate all of you.
God Bless America. And God bless each and everyone one of you.

DITTO!

 

wipes tear from eye

That was beautiful, man!

God Bless US, WardenX, God bless US everyone!

 

thank you warden...

 

Hoody

I may be getting out early too, what a wonderful day

 

Sick as it is, I wish I was working today. My club is closed and normally they are open 1/2 day on holidays. The classes are usually really full and it's a blast to teach them. Everyone wants to work their butts off so they can go eat without guilt. Oh well . . . back to pondering the universe.

 

NO fair, Biscuit-boy!! I gotta be here. So do you.

 

I know I'm a day late on this, but I still hope everyone had a great 4th.

Great words warden! Thank you!

 

"It [is] inconsistent with the principles of civil liberty, and contrary
to the natural rights of the other members of the society, that any
body of men therein should have authority to enlarge their own
powers... without restraint." --Thomas Jefferson: Virginia Allowance
Bill, 1778.

"Time indeed changes manners and notions, and so far we must
expect institutions to bend to them. But time produces also
corruption of principles, and against this it is the duty of good
citizens to be ever on the watch, and if the gangrene is to prevail
at last, let the day be kept off as long as possible." --Thomas
Jefferson to Spencer Roane, 1821.

Happy fourth everyone!
