What a momentous day indeed -- and more so in retrospect day by day. 222 years ago today in Philadelphia, 39 patriots signed the U.S. Constitution and changed history. It's Constitution Day!
Come and let's read that landmark document (or at least its peerless Preamble): We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.
UPDATE: Oh, "Schoolhouse Rock" from the misty days of our youth!
