We'll see how long this lasts....
Right now, I am going to sit down and watch the John Adams mini-series and remind myself again what a great country this is, and what great roots we have. To remind myself, as I tire of OPINIONS--left and right, never ending political phone calls and commercials, CONSTANT debates... that this country is GREAT because of the men and women that had the courage to make a stand.
Stay tuned to hear me wax poetically about my love of history, particularly US history. I imagine I'll come back whining about my need to reconnect to my 20 year old intellectual self. She whose only concern was reading, writing papers, drinking some beer and hanging out with friends.

Have you seen this? It's a very interesting page. I've never seen the miniseries, but I loved McCullough's book.
That Mini Series was super cool. I especially like the arcs with Adams and Jefferson and Adams and his Wife.
Of course, were he alive today, he would promptly drop dead at how intrusive the federal government has become.
Either that or he'd dig up Jefferson and start watering the tree of liberty with the blood of tyrants.
