"

Gain we not perspective from historical occurrence?

"
Oh, Alexander, your thoughts are great and
so empirical. To the whims of destiny and
Red justice which makes the Whites blue,
the stripes now apparel and manifest the
stars of appeal, as the bombs burst through
the night of corporate growing pains. Great
Scott, Sir... we're all keyed up with song and
verse. Wave those flags proudly, and should 
Thomas be found doubting your approach,
the egalitarian elect could be forced to eat
Abigail's pumpkin bread while dipping snuff.
The Spanish sherry is quite the aperitif, along
with an evening pipe and good political debate.
Tis' healthy for mind and soul to discuss and
engage in such discourse; which could affect
commerce and our livelihood. I can't imagine 
a time where it thought not possible to do so,
here, and still call it freedom! Such is a toast
to a little rebellion, now and then, as a good
thing and quite necessary. Truly, Paine was
right in saying,"These are the times that try
men's souls."

Our best lessons come from our own history... neglect only ensures it to happen again.
