Famous excerpt from The Declaration of Independence, July 4, 1776"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."

I like the "I'm Reading..." section of your blog. Good idea. I think I'll steal it.
I've seen that on other blogs and have been meaning to do it for awhile. The only thing I don't like about it in the sidebar is that you can't add a description of the book or how you heard about it, etc...
Someone gave me that book a while ago, but I haven't read it yet. Let me know if its any good. I just got my copy of Dirty Water and plan on starting it tonight.
Wow, I didn't know Dirty Water was out! I guess I'm out of the loop!! Amy passed on Middlesex to me and said it was good; so far I like it. Are you going to send us Dirty Water when you're done?
I suppose I could do that...
I sent Dirty Water yesterday along with a magazine for Dad.
