Two Hundred and Thirty-Three Years.
When the Continental Congress emerged from that earth-shaking vote, a woman asked Benjamin Franklin: What have you given us? Franklin replied: A Republic, if you can keep it.
If we can keep it.
I worked 16 hours today but still managed to watch some of the fireworks. The university where I work is on a hill that overlooks the river, where the fireworks are staged. It's a good vantage point.
As I watched the fireworks and listened to the oohs and ahhs, I found myself thinking about Dr. Franklin.
A Republic, if we can keep it.
God, please, do not let us fail to do so.
