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

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. <gr>
