4th of July Video

Thanks for watching, this video is one of my favorites.

Declaration of Independence

When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands, which have connected them with another, and to assume, among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

Preamble:

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed, by their Creator, with certain Inalienable rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.

That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles, and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.

Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. 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.

Mark Twain said: "We have the best government that money can buy." 

Ardie Verde said: "If I can't get this charcoal lit, we won't be eating until 6 o'clock" Thanks for the comments. -Ardie

Well said.  That's one fine document, the Declaration of Independence. Every American, and their elected representatives, should read it at least once. Thanks to the electronic age, it's easy to find. -Ardie

That is one hell of a piece of text. I've never read it before. Wow. Thanks man. Amazing that out of all the time I spend on the internet, it never occurred to me to read this.

Please for the love of God, bring them home. Peace.

I love it! Nice video! By the way, the pool is filled, however, the ground has to be levelled off and an electrical post has to be installed per codes, and the 3' of cement walk way around the pool, and then the fence around that and then the final inspection. I'll make a video.

Great video. "...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..."

Are we there yet?
