Here's to the philosophers and writers

On July 4, it's important to remember that this is not an exclusively military holiday, despite all efforts to make it so.

Our thanks should be equally shared among the philosophers and writers who, even though they didn't live up to their own ideals, at least created a document that carried enough moral weight to energize freedom-seekers around the world.

To the power of thought and to the power of words!
