Happy Independence Day to my fellow Americans! Let us reflect on a segment of Patrick Henry's Speech during the beginning of the American revolution. And if you get time, I will leave a link to the entire speech. Where is such wisdom to be found today? "It is in vain, sir, to extenuate the matter. Gentlemen may cry, Peace, Peace but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! The next gale that sweeps from the north will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms! Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, GIVE ME LIBERTY OOR GIVE ME DEATH!" - Patrick Henry
