Independence
45"Before I had finished speaking in my heart, there was
Rebekah coming out with her water jar on her shoulder; and she went down to the
spring, and drew. I said to her, "Please let me drink." 46She quickly let down her jar from her
shoulder, and said, "Drink, and I will also water your camels."

We hold these truths to be sacred and undeniable; that all men are
created equal and independent, that from that equal creation they derive rights
inherent and inalienable, among which are the preservation of life, and liberty,
and the pursuit of happiness.

Jefferson
They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary
safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.

We drove to
Red Feather Lakes to find moose and found nary a one.
Instead, we
had to content ourselves with the bobbling moose on Vicki's dash.
