It was because political liberty and personal freedom had meanings then that men have mislaid today The founding fathers ached for independence dreamed of it died for it In our own time a new bureaucracy sends forth swarms of officers to harass our people once again a distant power lays down Infinite regulations for the purpose of fatiguing the people into corn pliance with them The spirit of independence wanes And that is the only purpose in our neglect of the glorious Fourth regretting The day symbolizes a spirit worth preserving and a' nation that abandons its outward symbols' sooner or later risks the loss of inner grace A Shared Responsibility ng ' p restraint The fact Ls that the leaders of the American Revolution were not "oppressed" by the standards of their day or of ours Many of the signers far from having nothing to lose in truth'had everything to lose Francis Lewis William Floyd and Lewis Morris all of New York 141reat estates on Long Island they saw their property plundered and their' fami- lies imprisoned Arthur Middleton of South Carolina Carter Braxt'on of Virgina George 00 should not go unanswered Certainly and most emphatically we parents l tell our children not to go out in the street — over and over again until we are blue in the face But you cannot depend on the or even an older judgment of a child for that matter In spite of constant supervision they may suddenly and thoughtlessly run out into the street Were all the children hit unsupervised?

Mercenaries were on their way to complete those works of death &solution and tyranny that had been marked by "cruelty and already perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages" But these two or three sentences to one side the Declaration Is a model of lawyerly valley for they all do the same things with a few minor quirks to try and evade an impossible liquor law in this state The pathetic thing is that the people (many of them actually drinkers themselves dare not mention that they favor liquor by the drink There are thousands in this valley who go to the clubs and drink It is about time to stop pretending and do something to make it possible for these drinkers to be within the law I feel sorry for the club that have been s raided But the will probably get their way The drinkers will get slapped on the hands and go right on breaking the law Some clubs not all will be penalized The sickening part is the suspicion that law enforcement is discriminatory If not why !lid not ALL the clubs receive the stiff treatment?
