"It has ever been my hobby-horse to see rising in America an empire of liberty, and a prospect of two or three hundred millions of freemen, without one noble or one king among them. You say it is impossible. If I should agree with you in this, I would still say, let us try the experiment, and preserve our equality as long as we can."
--John Adams, letter to Count Sarsfield, 3 February 1786
The founding fathers truly had the vision necessary to make this country what it is today. They were God inspired men.

You have GOT to watch the John Adams series that HBO put out. It was SOOOO good. I know I talked about it before when we were watching it but after reading this comment, it reminded me to remind you about it again. :)
