Old State House . On Bostons freedom trail
Happy Birthday America hope you all have an enjoyable and safe July 4th celebration .Wearing a mask is cool and they offer some protection to the wearer and other people just like speed limits on highways. How they became part of the culture wars is beyond my understanding.
This image is of the Old State House in Boston, Massachusetts. Built in 1713, it was the seat of the Massachusetts General Court until 1798, and is one of the oldest public buildings in the United States. One of the landmarks on Boston's Freedom Trail, it is the oldest surviving public building in Boston, and now serves as a history museum. Sadly the building is rather overshadowed by the towers of commerce .
I was reading the Declaration of Independence the other day even after 244 years it is still an inspiring document. The Founding Fathers certainly set a very high bar on how to organise a country and a system of government . They sound to me like a real bunch of liberals but then they were fighting for a revolution from autocratic rule by Great Britain . Gandhi, Mandela and Luther King all write on how the words of the declaration informed their beliefs
Preamble to the Declaration of Independence July 4th 1776
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.
That whenever any form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organising its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness. “
THANKS FOR YOUR VISITING BUT CAN I ASK YOU NOT TO FAVE AN IMAGE WITHOUT ALSO MAKING A COMMENT. MANY THANKS KEITH. ANYONE MAKING MULTIPLE FAVES WITHOUT COMMENTS WILL SIMPLY BE BLOCKED
