#2 Happy Birthday America. In God's name we pray that we will become the land of the free once again. We shall not go quietly..

Do not go gentle into that good night

Dylan Thomas, 1914 - 1953

Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
Because their words had forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night.

Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright
Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,
And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,
Do not go gentle into that good night.

Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight
Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

And you, my father, there on the sad height,
Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray.
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

#5 And a happy and meaningful 4th to all Rantburgers.We need to get through this rough part in our history. We have the tools and tradition. We need the collective will. At least our own will for a start.

#6 I have faith that we'll muddle through, as we always seem to in the end. Happy America's birthday, dear Rantburgers!

#7 Re: Rage against the dying of the light: I often find myself hating that man for writing those words and then drinking himself to death.

#9 #7 I often find myself hating that man for writing those words and then drinking himself to death.

Amen to that. Then again (giving myself a hernia here trying to keep it light for the 4th)...

Hibernian notions, to think 'em,
If we've potions, can drive us to drink 'em;
We've a din in our dome
Since we're so far from Rome
And so close to the United Kingdom.
