A Skeptic’s Christmas Poem
17 hours ago Charles Rotter

‘Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the land,
Not a windmill was spinning, not even on sand.
The panels lay silent, their surfaces bare,
For snow had descended, blocking sun from the air.

The children were nestled, snug in their beds,
While visions of blackouts danced in their heads.
And Ma with her blanket, and I in my cap,
Had just settled down for a long winter’s nap.

When out on the lawn, there arose such a clatter,
I sprang from my chair to see what was the matter.
Away to the window I flew like a flash,
Tore open the shutters, and threw up the sash.

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
