Don't Let The Doom Criers

Let The Fourth Of July Always Be A Reminder That Here In This Land, For The First Time, It Was Decided That Man Is Born With Certain God-given Rights; That Government Is Only A Convenience Created And Managed By The People, With No Powers Of Its Own Except Those Voluntarily Granted To It By The People. We Sometimes Forget That Great Truth, And We Never Should. Happy Fourth Of July.
