The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

If anyone who doesn't think the democrats are a bunch of lunatics, needs to read this and then think about future potential.   Ambassador for caves?  Ambassador for river bottoms?  Ambassador for hill sides? :3:
