No taxation without representation...

Don't tread on me...

Down with King George III...

And a special "thank you" to all those celebrating overseas.

Enjoy a safe and happy 4th! :wink:

Happy Forth everyone!

I hope you all have a really great time with friends and family today and really bask in the greatness of the things you and your country has done and still can do! Stay safe, and don't forget to tip your glass and remember those of the greatest generation who helped preserve the greatness of your country!

Cheers!



Peace,

David

"Up with the rebels"! Happy Forth. I'll be watching "The Great Escape" later! Tradition, don't ya know.

Have a safe one (I see that a 36-year old in Brooklyn blew his arm off at the shoulder with a mortar yesterday).

Preacher I was talking to today said we needed to do a little more "leaning on the everlasting arms". He clarified his statement a little more by saying they belonged to Mr. Colt, Mr. Winchester, Mr. Smith and Mr. Wesson.
