The 4th of July

The rights of the people, but also the responsibility of the people.
"If once [the people] become inattentive to the public affairs, you and
I, and Congress and Assemblies, Judges and Governors, shall all become
wolves. It seems to be the law of our general nature, in spite of
individual exceptions." --Thomas Jefferson to Edward Carrington,
1787.
