This well considered contributed post, brimming with the wisdom of a habitual sage, is Diane Rufino's Magnus Opus. A Re-Declaration of Independence ... think about Diane's title ... it is an ominous collection of words that begs for a statement of fact, and a conclusion of performance planned for future generations of real patriots, who must heed the call to 're-declare OUR independence' re-declaring their independence from all that would control their incorruptible spirits against the pronounced, wisdom and the declared advisements by OUR Founders, a humbling history of how to sustain this Republic. This article is dedicated to our great Founding Fathers - men who had the courage, the foresight, and the wisdom to secure the freedom that I exercise and enjoy every single day.
