I was sitting here thinking about how much I like history and things having to do with history, as this is Independence Day.  Now that I see that name in “type” I’ll probably watch the movie later today.  

Anyway, I got to thinking about how much I like US History literature and how people used to write and talk back then.  I got to thinking about that when Nicholas Cage mentioned it in National Treasure, which is full of tons of little history facts and such.  And I got to thinking about how I had a conversation once about such things and started talking about what our forefathers were thinking when they sat down to write the Declaration of Independence.  Well, it all depends on how you read it I guess.  You could read it with a big smile on your face and you’d probably end up feeling like a psycho killer, cause it’s not a very happy letter.  Or you could read it with grit teeth, which is what I like to think was going on when it was being written.  Because if you think about it, these guys were some pissed off mother*******.  They were ready to KILL.  They’d put up with all they were going to put up with and… they were ready to KILL!  

Saying those words, “ready to kill!!” made me think of Alice’s Restaurant by Arlo Guthrie.  They play that every year on Thanksgiving down here.  This year,  I decided not to wait until November.  Man, I can’t even breathe when listening to this song.  Tears flow every time.

LMAO.
