As that becomes more developed, more enlightened, as new discoveries are made, new truths discovered and manners and opinions change, with the change of circumstances, institutions must advance also to keep pace with the times. We might as well require a man to wear still the coat which fitted him when a boy as civilized society to remain ever under the regimen of their barbarous ancestors."<br /><br />Thomas Jefferson (I had to look that one up)outlawgardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08273973572989510382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6598416695566325151.post-58379981869846192362015-05-25T19:55:15.205-07:002015-05-25T19:55:15.205-07:00We sure do and when you move up, you can be part o...We sure do and when you move up, you can be part of the fun!outlawgardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08273973572989510382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6598416695566325151.post-906548957928404352015-05-25T19:54:35.221-07:002015-05-25T19:54:35.221-07:00Thanks Loree!

I've been watching far too many youtube videos of people on the street interviews with folks who don't know why we celebrate the Fourth of July, who the current president is, that Abraham Lincoln was an actual person and not a fictitious character, etc. Unfortunately, they're not just kids but also people our age and older.
