"Nay, it [this constitution of government] must perish, if there be not that vital spirit in the people, which alone can nourish, sustain, and direct all its movements. It is in vain, that statesmen shall form plans of government, in which the beauty and harmony of a republic shall be embodied in visible order, shall be built up on solid substructions, and adorned by every useful ornament, if the inhabitants suffer the silent power of time to dilapidate its walls, or crumble its massy supporters into dust; if the assaults from without are never resisted, and the rottenness and mining from within are never guarded against. Who can preserve the rights and liberties of the people, when they shall be abandoned by themselves? Who shall keep watch in the temple, when the watchmen sleep at their posts? Who shall call upon the people to redeem their possessions, and revive the republic, when their own hands have deliberately and corruptly surrendered them to the oppressor, and have built the prisons, or dug the graves of their own friends?

Yes, happy Thanksgiving to all!
Afterward we will all be gearing up for a "Happy Holiday" or "Winter Festival" or what ever we're supposed to call Christmas now.

"In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American...There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag...We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language...And we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people."
Theodore Roosevelt 1907

Kathy, I have to admit that I didn't realize Boring was actually a legitimate town. I thought you were being sarcastic all of these years. That sign is priceless!  Here's hoping you and yours will have a very Boring Happy Thanksgiving!  ...JP |

Been trying to do the math, but I think it is the 8th Thanksgiving together for many of us - wow. I'm proud to be somehow in your homes with the forum and with the friends you've made here. On the one day of the year families in the US spend together the most out of any other holiday, I'm so glad that many of you even take a minute on this special day to stop in to the forums to check out what's happening - sure has family and friends written all over it. Enjoy your time with family, feast and be merry and although it is unlikely they are reading this, I give thanks to the men and women around the Globe who dive so much to keep us safer in a crazy world. God Bless everyone and just think by this time tomorrow, your neighbors will have blowup snow-globes, reindeer and lights strung all over their house and yard. For some reason, every holiday seems to start the days AFTER the previous one ends. Tracey and I are having a Christmas Tree for the first time in many many years. I miss the days when blinking lights reflected off the walls and the cats sniffed at smells we can only imagine. It won't be until early December though, even though it is a nice artificial tree, I see no need to go from Black Friday to January 1st - someone else can do that Again, thank you all for being part of the Beemaster Family. Since I have no living relatives, I think of you all as family and maybe that's why I get a little protective when we get ying-yangs in here? But I'll swear to it and pass any polygraph if asked if I think our forum is the friendliest one around - because in my heart, I believe that you all get that we aim the bar a little higher than most and the results speak for themselves. To many more years together, Happy Thanksgiving to you all Beemaster |
