But I will defend the theory behind fireworks, I do love them alot, including the ones you buy at the store and set off.

They quickly pointed out how right I was. Then I pointed out that they considered themselves the "true" patriots today because even though they disagree they don't want to overthrow the government, likewise the "loyalists" would have been the "true" patriots back then.<BR/><BR/>Alas, the more things change the more they stay the same. After all the day after the revolution, the revolutionary becomes the conservative. :)Buckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03195661861205323477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10726896.post-81310796208051378902008-07-05T15:36:00.000-04:002008-07-05T15:36:00.000-04:00"Back in 1776, we argued about ridiculously high t..."Back in 1776, we argued about ridiculously high taxes, misrepresentation in government, and personal freedoms being taken from us.<BR/><BR/>In 2008, has any of that changed?"<BR/>Lordy, it's spooky ;~D reading that.
