Jim's Quote of the Day:
"We have counted the cost of this contest, and find nothing so dreadful
as voluntary slavery. - Honor, justice, and humanity, forbid us tamely to surrender
that freedom which we received from our gallant ancestors, and which our innocent
posterity have a right to receive from us. We cannot endure the infamy and
guilt of resigning succeeding generations to that wretchedness which inevitably
awaits them, if we basely entail hereditary bondage
upon them." - John Dickenson and Thomas Jefferson, Continental Congress,
July
6, 1775, Declaration of Causes and Necessity for Taking Up Arms
