At the close of the Constitutional Convention in 1787, Dr. James McHenry, a Maryland delegate, followed Benjamin Franklin from Independence Hall. He recorded a question asked by a lady, directed at Dr. Franklin.
The lady asked, "Well Doctor, what have we got? A republic or a monarchy?"
"A republic," replied Dr. Franklin, "if you can keep it."
IN DEFENSE OF MINORITIES!

Amazing men, what minds they possessed to get them through.
...sometimes I wonder if the agency has any like that today.
Race - I think that people rise to the occasion. At least, I like to think that they do. Downey and Fecteau certainly did.
