Happy Fourth Everyone!!!

[Mardigrasbaby35]

Just wanted to take a minute and wish everyone a happy Fourth of July. While i know we may criticize and comment a lot on this board about the government (all levels) and the many issues that our country faces - let's all remember this week that any country that has Crawfish Fest. Jazz Fest, Brews & Blues (Telluride) to name only a few and whose citzens have the opportunity to enjoy the kind of freedom we have to freely exchange thoughts and ideas like we do on this board is a great place to live and is something to be proud of.....

(and that comes from one of us down here in NOLa who every now and again feels like we've been forgotten by all levels of gov't).

:D Happy Fourth of July :D

I know, I'm so pissed I'm going out of town that weekend, meaning I'm gonna miss the best show at LMF since Jazz Fest. Crap.

But I might try to swing by the Leaf tonight; if so I'll look for you! I haven't been out on a Tuesday in a long time, but since tonight isn't a "school nite" I may give it a go...

Brave men, all. My wife is a direct descendant of Charles Carroll.

IN CONGRESS, JULY 4, 1776
The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America

When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. — Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.

He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.

He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.

He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only.

He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their Public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures.

He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people.

He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected, whereby the Legislative Powers, incapable of Annihilation, have returned to the People at large for their exercise; the State remaining in the mean time exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within.

He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands.

He has obstructed the Administration of Justice by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary Powers.

He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.

He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people and eat out their substance.

He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures.

He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil Power.

He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation:

For quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:

For protecting them, by a mock Trial from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States:

For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world:

For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent:

For depriving us in many cases, of the benefit of Trial by Jury:

For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences:

For abolishing the free System of English Laws in a neighbouring Province, establishing therein an Arbitrary government, and enlarging its Boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into these Colonies

For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments:

For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever.

He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us.

He has plundered our seas, ravaged our coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people.

He is at this time transporting large Armies of foreign Mercenaries to compleat the works of death, desolation, and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of Cruelty & Perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the Head of a civilized nation.

He has constrained our fellow Citizens taken Captive on the high Seas to bear Arms against their Country, to become the executioners of their friends and Brethren, or to fall themselves by their Hands.

He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.

In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.

Nor have We been wanting in attentions to our British brethren. We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our Separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, Enemies in War, in Peace Friends.

We, therefore, the Representatives of the united States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these united Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States, that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do. — And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.

All hail Button Gwinnett
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Wednesday, July 4th 2007, 4:00 AM

Editorial

Think today upon the personage of one Button Gwinnett, of whom you likely have never heard but whose name is among those at the bottom of the document that says:

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness."

Gwinnett was one of the 56 signatories of the Declaration of Independence - first signature on the left, in fact; can't miss it - said Declaration and said independence we celebrate this day.

Born in England, Gwinnett arrived on these shores in the 1760s. Tried his hand at the mercantile game and failed. Had more success as a planter and got elected to Georgia's Provincial Assembly. Was offered and declined command of Georgia's continental militia. Was elected to the Continental Congress. Afterward, was candidate for brigadier general in the Continental Army, but post went to rival and nemesis Lachlan McIntosh, who killed Gwinnett in a duel in 1777, less than a year after the latter's brush with greatness.

Gwinnett didn't sign much of anything other than the Declaration, so any scrap bearing his signature is priceless. Or going for upward of $100,000. As one collector put it, it's a holy grail of autographs.

We remember all this, and Gwinnett, today because of what he represents. A comparatively ordinary man among the larger-than-life who gathered in Philadelphia 231 years ago and changed history. Jefferson, Adams, Hancock, Gwinnett and all the others put their names to a work of genius that was animated by a profound respect for the individual, for all men, for the average as well as the privileged, but for the ordinary most of all.

Because, given freedom, ordinary men and women do extraordinary things. In this nation, that is not just a possibility; it is expected. It is common. It has been proven time and time again. It is part of what America - Americans - are all about. Happy Fourth!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

And from me......sometimes our leaders seem to forget the principles that this country is based on, but the beauty of this place is WE have the power, through our voices and our actions, to remind them and show them what is good and what is right.

Everybody have a safe and happy day!!

I am sitting here thinking about last 4th of July. The family was in New Orleans all together having a ball.

This year I am home with all the kids spending the day with friends. My oldest is at Lake Anna camping and skiing with his girlfriends family, the middle one with his girlfriends family at Lake Holiday skiing and my youngest with the neighbors at a pool party and the old fart and me watching Bonanza reruns! Going to Outback for dinner and if the weather holds watching fireworks at the local park with the remnants of Jefferson Starship.

Now you can guess I am longing for New Orleans. That was a great fourth down by the river, family all together in the greatest City in world. Different year, different mindset. Bonanza? Gees, I am feeling like a geezer

Man, Chicklet and I just got back from the best fireworks show EVER. They were playing the coolist patriotic music to it, too. They played two different versions of the Star Spangled Banner, I'm Proud to be an American and Dixieland by Elvis Presley. The whole thing just brought tears to my eyes. lol, I'm so patriotic!

And let me just say, I will never buy frozen corn on the cob again. I got some fresh corn on sale and it was soooooo freaking good. It's been a stellar day. :D

Hello hunni, Misstress of Korn! :)
Everybody has their own way of doing it. I used to do corn in the husks on the grill, but it seems like that is just steaming it. Now I melt a mix of butter, garlic powder, salt, pepper & cilantro & fresh lime & brush it over the corn & grill till it carmelizes, basting it the whole time. Very yummy.
I saw Paula Deen do something that I've been wanting to try, but never have. She spreads mayo on the corn, then wraps it in bacon. I imagine, like the pb, it sounds wierd but tastes fantastic!

Anyway, great to see you on here, chica! :)

[MzJoey]

hey Jenn....yup mayo is a fave in Latino community...but they put it on after the corn is cooked as you would w/butter....rolling the corn is different stuff too...like cotija cheese (a tangy crumbly mexican cheese). I love my corn really, really carmelized on the grill, brings out all it's sugar! And yeah it's good to be able to do more stuff like sit at the computer and drive...i was going crazy depending on everybody for rides!

Tamales?? I LOVE them!!!!! That sounds really cool Joey. Good for you:)

The lil skinny, hot as fire tamales that you get in LA, and some parts of TX are really different than the ones i've learned to make....and you see mostly out West.
Tamales are food of celebration, baptisms, weddings, always at Christmas...lots of fun!
