We Wouldn’t Be Here Without The Weirdos, Elitist Snobs, & Troublemakers
Those Founding Fathers! What a motley group. We (USA) wouldn’t be here, celebrating Independence if they had decided to let somebody else do it; that they couldn’t fight the establishment; that they had to have meetings to plan meetings; that they needed some team-building coaching so they could reach consensus and write a ten-step plan with metrics.
Somehow they got it together (without computers or air conditioning no less) – even when they didn’t like each other (and, in fact, some of them loathed each other.)
“Democracy is the worst form of government – except for all others.” – Winston Churchill (Technically, we’re a Republic. Discuss.)
Happy July 4th! Wave a sparkler for me.

Hi Mary! Gosh, it’s been too long. Love the new place you have here. Great Churchill quote (gosh, he had a million of ‘em). I hope all is well, and stay in touch.
