Ironically, it's a very slim little book. Anyhow, I try to remember to pull it out each July 4th, and read something from it to my wife. Wonder of wonders, she enjoys this. This year, it was Thomas Jefferson's inaugural speech. Great stuff, though honestly a bit tongue-twisting at times. Our forefathers really did enjoy long and twisty sentences. Even so, the directness and humility with which he stated his positions and his understanding of the office are still inspriational. I wish we had someoneone like him today. http://www.bartleby.com/124/pres16.html I have something called The Book of Great American Documents. Ironically, it’s a very slim little book.

I can't even spell it right :( Hope you'll forgive me. (Hanging head in shame) It’s a dead giveaway that I’m an American. I can’t even spell it right :( Hope you’ll forgive me.
