Mornin' all!
This mornin' I looked out and there were two deer in the back yard enjoyin' our mater plants. The mater eaters who live here are gonna be mad when they hear about it. They're gonna be madder when they find out that I just stood there and watched the deer because I was so shocked to see them in my part of the big city.....

I saw a deer bounding across a road in my neighborhood about 10:30 one morning last week. Slowed down lots to make sure more weren't following.... seem to travel in pairs, ya know! Surprised to see one that time of day!

There were 56 signers of the Declaration of Independence.
5 were captured by the British as traitors and tortured before they died.
9 fought and died during the war.
At the Battle of Yorktown, Thomas nelson Jr., noted thatGen. Cornwallis had taken over the Nelson home for his headquarters.He quietly urged Gen. Washington to open fire. The home destroyed, Nelson died bankrupt.
John Hart was driven from his wife's bedside as she was dying. Their 13 children fled for their lives. His fields and his gristmill were laid to waste. For more than a year he lived in forests and caves, returning home to find his wife dead and his children vanished. A few weeks later he died from exhaustion and a broken heart.
They had security, but they valued liberty more. Standing tall, straight and unwavering, they pledged:"For the support of this declaration, with firm reliance on the protection of the divine providence, we mutually pledge to each other, our lives , our fortunes, and our sacred honor."
It's important to get the word out that patriotism is not a sin, and the Fourth of July has more to it than beer, picnics and baseball games

ff12, You (and others) have done been hoodwinked. Big time!
Had you engaged in just a modicum of research, clearly you would have found that most of the information in your post is mostly 'urban myth' and is just plain flat out out right wrong (to put it nicely)!
I refer you (and others) to the following sources to dispel the greater parts of misinformation and myth with regards to your post:
http://www.snopes.com/history/american/pricepaid.asp
http://www.everything2.com/index.pl?node_id=638656
http://www.truthorfiction.com/rumors/p/patriots.htm
http://www.adherents.com/gov/Founding_Fathers_Religion.html
I sure hope no one around here is thinking of buying that bridge you have for sale up in Brooklyn!
It's amazing the junk that people will believe isn't it?

Don't worry ff12. The excerpt above is the "junk" that most of us will remember from your post.
At least the rest of it was interesting reading.
Funny thing about junk emails (which I'd guess the content of this post originated from).... while most of us don't take the time to do the research because we've got sense enough not to make any grandiose speeches spouting the information within - or base any big money bridge deals on the contents, there's usually a significant point that makes the trek thru the fiction more than worthwhile. 
Have a great 4th Everyone!

Thanks ff12 for reminding us that July 4th is more that hot dogs and beer. Seems that patriotism has become as uncommon as courtesy to fellow posters- let's bring them back!
Happy Fourth of July !

| Reckon I'll go water my maters. Cap'n J'arachnid Spider is still mannin' (or I guess spiderin') the defenses in case one o' Crackah's mater bitin' deer gets in range o' the little devil. You can hear him mutterin' to hisse'f ever' now an' then. "Aye, Ahab, ye'll get no points from Cap'n Jack. Har! A great mountain of a white whale's a easy target, says I. Try yer hand at broadsidin' a skittish forest critter with naught but these pitiful green tomateys fer grapeshot! Aye, there's the test! Call him Fishmeal! Har har harrr!"

Hee Hee Pappy! Sounds like you might have been hittin' the coffee kinda hard this mornin'! Did one of the younguns bring you an extra strong latte from MOBY's perhaps???
~~~~~~~~~
I hope everyone has a great holiday!
I've got a busy day as usual. We're diggin' out our finest red white and blue duds and gettin' together with the extended family for a hot dog or two!
YAY!
