(Page 2 of 2)

[I]f the laws are to be so trampled upon with impunity, and a minority...is to dictate to the majority, there is an end put at one stroke to republican government...for some other man or society may dislike another law and oppose it with equal propriety until all laws are prostrate, and everyone will carve for himself.
br> So, as we prepare to collectively carve what Ben Franklin thought should be our national bird, let us turn away from self-defeating mourning and pray that God will continue to bless our still-great nation. On my part, I would like to thank him for every goodness he has showered on me; not the least of which is that he and my grandparents made me an American.
