As a British subject who has read early American history may I add a few words. 1776 was a watershed not just For America but for the world.The American constitution was founded not just on a piece of paper declaring the constitutiion but by the blood spilled by men at Valley Forge and Bunker Hill who fought for what they believed. Some who died on the side of the colonists were Englishmen who wanted a better deal and were prepared to fight for it. A strong America is as important now as it was in two world wars not just to sound the trumpet, but to see to it that all remember their history and who they are.

So much left behind , so seeded , left to take root in
The Americas , by the Collenst , from the British Isles ,
The English civil wars yes there were two ,
Three steps forward , two steps back ,
The puritans no place hear ,
The shame is America stuck with 'em

I like this one, Stan!
I confess my knowledge of America is not what it could be, but I appreciate the sentiments expressed so ably here: 'Do not replace reason / With frenzy again'.
Applause!
