If we could combine the youthful zeal for liberty with the knowledge and dignity of its experience… well…
…and join with these the higher respect for liberty that comes with sacrificing for it… or that comes with having it denied…
…If we would clothe this liberty in humble reverence to our Maker, who IS its source…

What doesn’t change, except change itself, is the regular search for what doesn’t change.
That we are, that we live, doesn’t change until it does, which doesn’t change that we were, or that still they are.
That it has been done, that it has been written, that at that time it was, doesn’t change.
The truth of it doesn’t change, only its versions and inventions.
Unending movement… doesn’t change… so far that we know.
Freedom and liberty, whether synonymously construed, or distinguished as the latter being the former’s responsible articulation, or separated by whatever your metaphysical sensibilities and frames of reference, these do not change, in their primitive and natural perceptions, or in the perpetual motions in defense of, and offense to, their principled and infinite illustrations, by individual human beings.
~Thomas Jefferson to J. Cartwright, 1824.Nothing then is unchangeable but the inherent and unalienable rights of man.
That there exists good and evil, doesn’t change.
Finally, what doesn’t change, is the certainty that most people who happen across this article will never make it to this line.

“Well done America … the following companies have all announced layoffs …” [Darleen Click] …after the not-near-inclusive-list, there’s this, just makes my stomach sick:I’m a California Republican (I know, masochistic, right?) and the local talk radio is full of small business owners calling in and discussing their plans. One man, owner of a trucking firm in Ventura — 75 employees, $6 mill payroll, discussed how even as times have been tough over the last few years, he’s made it a point to make his payroll, even dipping into his own savings. He was walking by the breakroom and heard some of his employees snickering about the election and they had wanted Obama to stay President to make sure the rich pay. He then thought “what am I putting myself at risk? He then went and canceled his order for 6 new trucks (approximately $600,000 worth of an order) and is planning to layoff 20 or more people. So sad, too bad.

I like yogurt, trail mix, and green tea, and that’s all that really matters when you get right down to it. These are things I like, and the tea is pomegranate flavored.
The tea and nearly-gone-trail mix are on the table before me, where the strawberry-banana yogurt was before that, in the exact same spot that the rice and beans and buttered crackers occupied a bit earlier. I like beans, too, but my wife don’t much, which matters, too.
Now the trail mix is gone, but that’s okay, they have stores, and gas stations. For now, I still have my tea, which by the way I leave the bag in till it’s drunk, and that’s all that really matters.
The television’s on, mostly for background noise. That don’t matter but I think it’s supposed to, ’cause how else do I know who I am? Still can’t figure out why I never see anyone on TV eatin’ beans, rice, crackers, yogurt, and trail mix, and sipping some nice hot green-red tea, never in the same show, you know. Maybe I missed it, whilst the box served as background noise.
I heard that some really important people decided that yogurt, trail mix, and green tea were not such a good idea. They were on television, I heard. Maybe, again, in the background?
I need to boil some water, now. That’s all that really matters. Then I’m off to the gas station, then to the store, to buy the rest of the yogurt, trail mix, and pomegranate green tea that they have, before it doesn’t really matter anymore.
Next month, if they still gave gas and stores, I’ll still have rice and beans and buttered crackers, I think, and that’s all that really matters.
