It's the Fourth of July today. America's 233rd birthday. Not so very old in the history of time. Do you think she's growing weary yet? It's a tremendous responsibility to be The United States of America, the greatest nation in the world.
I read something today about the digitalizition of politics and I started wondering what George, Tom, John, Ben and the rest would think if they were still around. Would they be saying, "No! No! No! You've got it all wrong!" or would they be smiling, "We did good, boys. We laid a great foundation and look at what they've built on top of it today."
The last sentence of the Declaration of Independence is "And for the support of this declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor."
That's a lot to live up to.
