Stub --  I'll post AAR tonight
If men were angels, no government would be necessary. If angels were to govern men, neither external nor internal controls on government would be necessary. (James Madison)

"Young man, what we meant in going for those Redcoats was this: we always had governed ourselves and we always meant to. They didn't mean we should."
(Captain Levi Preston, of the Danvers militia, at age 91, remembering the day)

That it is an indispensable duty which we owe to God, our country, ourselves and posterity, by all lawful ways and means in our power to maintain, defend and preserve those civil and religious rights and liberties, for which many of our fathers fought, bled and died, and to hand them down entire to future generations.  Suffolk Resolves, September 9, 1774, attributed to Dr. Joseph Warren

As a first-timer to one of these events, I must say that it was quite a day for me and my father.

I do look more serious than I think I probably wanted to in that top picture, though.

It looks like you had a great day in beautiful Alaska!  I'm glad you had better weather than we had down here in Florida.  I hope everyone learned a lot and will be back for more!

Bad men cannot make good citizens. It is when a people forget God that tyrants forge their chains." - Patrick Henry

The American Constitution is remarkable for its simplicity; but can only suffice a people habitually correct in their actions, and would be utterly inadequate to the wants of a different nation.  Change the domestic habits of the Americans, their religious devotion, and their high respect for morality, and it will not be necessary to change a single letter in the Constitution in order to vary the whole form of their government. - Francis Grund 1837

"In the prevailing political theory of the founding era, the family was considered one of the essential pillars of republican virtue, and it not only needed to be nurtured, but also protected from the tyranny of the government.... American revolutionaries and their descendants understood marriage and the family to be schools of republican virtue. -Mary Lyndon Shanley, Review Essay, 27 Law & Soc. Inq. 923,

I believe so Chris -- one the guys in the office went to Sarasota over the weekend.  He said it was rainy down there.

Yep, it was rainy and nasty, and cold for Florida at this time of year (go ahead and laugh - I'm sure my definition of cold is far different from yours  ;D)

Hogfamily - awesome blog!  I love seeing entire families involved in promoting the cause!  Thank you!

Aw dang, I would love to!  A summer family vacation to Alaska sounds like a good idea - we haven't been since before the children were born!  And what a better way to spend the time than at an Appleseed shoot  O0
