Happy Birthday

by: huntsu

Fri Jul 04, 2008 at 07:18:01 PM EDT


This is a day when we get to reflect on the incredible chance our founders took in breaking away from England.  They didn't just break away and set up another country, but they created a new form of government and a new way of governing.  It was amazingly radical not only for its time, but for the people who led the rebellion.

Remember that our country didn't have to turn out as it has, and there is no promise that we will continue to improve as the years move on.  We will only progress as long as we remain as progressive for our time as the founders were for theirs.

Our history, our founding, is one of radicalism and belief that we can make things better by working together and binding ourselves to a collective and cooperative vision.

Today we celebrate that.  Party on.
