It's the ideals that formed those words, IMHO. I know people feel in their hearts something is amiss across the land, and it trails back to the beltway. But individual thoughts and the daring to give your all is what gave us what many now take for granted, so surely it can happen again, and I for one believe eventually it has to. The tenets of liberty and freedom ring clear and clean, once the rotten parts are cut out.

Okay, Maine, Vermont, West Va and Fla weren't original colonies (you referred to them as states, not quite accurate but I'll let it slide) and they entered into consortium of statehood as a result of our Revolution (in caps!) This is a great post, no matter how rotten a system gets you don't have to toss it out just because the present holders are corrupt IF it works, don't fix it right? Those before us did pretty damn well, they gave their damn lives for hot's sake.

Bob's down on Tacoma's waterfront in the camper ~ my grandkids & I are going down just after 12 noon. My son, his girlfriend & her mom are coming down later too. There's an air show over the waters of Puget Sound this afternoon, all sorts of vendors & entertainment and then at 10pm the big fireworks show over the water. I'm glad we'll have the camper (our own potty & fridge full of food). Have a good day...Linda in sunny & very warm WashingtonLinda's Worldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05726098611180439141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2136983861650322458.post-8844651463657952322009-07-04T11:09:17.344-04:002009-07-04T11:09:17.344-04:00MY ANSWER (other readers can skip this)

I'm not sure I get the question about how they became the first 13 states. When the Declaration of Independence was signed?
