And have a safe and sane Forth!  (Even if that isn't much fun!   )

Same to you and everyone else. Also relative to your comment on the "Pot" I can say "ME TOO"

Thanks Wayne!

Since I didn't get any angry responses to my "Coffee Pot" comment I'm guessing I hit the bulls-eye.

Well, as a rule politics should be avoided on a toy forum.  Me?  I'm a Glenn democrat, a student of Lincoln and a believer in the 5th estate.  Which is how America was founded.

Thanks for the Patrick Henry links Becky!

I'll tell you, the best  rendition of the  Patrick Henry's speech is in a Warner Brothers short film from 1936 called "Give Me Liberty."  Character actor John Litel plays Henry, and nails  the speech perfectly.

The first half of the film is a bit on the hokey side, but when the speech starts, hold on!  What a ride!

Turner Classic Movies shows it from time to time, but you have to be lucky to catch it.

Patrick Henry's home "Scotchtown" is not too far from where I live and is an intersting place to visit.

Hey guess what?  I found the speech!  Fasten your seat belts and enjoy the ride!
