"Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote!" - Ben Franklin

But remember, we have to win the votes first, before we can contest them.

FreedomLover, is that an excerpt from the novel 1776? I'm currently reading it and I am about half way done with the book. I love it so far, his use of imagery and specificities about American and British perspectives of the war is great.

Yes, but Franklin also said farting was healthy, this will lose us the self righteous prude vote. :p

Yeah, well it's actually the author describing the book. The real quote is longer, it just didn't fit in the signature space.

I just loved those signs of the Founding Father quotes. What a wonderful idea.
