You've confused me my good lady, what exactly are you saying here, "who have actually read the Declaration of Independence may be a little low.", in this sentence? Because the next sentence goes on to say about reasons people can't read, which makes me think you might have meant to say that my estimation of 1 out of every 1,000 might be high and it might be only 1 out of every 1,500 who have read it.
I probably could have clarified my statement as well , as I was meaning it as reading the entire document, plenty of people read to the point of 'life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness' and then give up. Why should be bother to to look at their reasons, since they fixed all of our problems back then? (I ask that question in jest of course).
Your husband sounds like he was a very good man, and I can certainly understand that he was appalled by the lack of quality in the education system here.
Have you seen @bigtom13 lately? I hope he is out on a long motorcycle trip and nothing bad has happened to him. Not like him to go missing for so long without poking his up every now and then.
Thanks for comment and the support,
Sult

I may be a bit fuddled this morning...lack of coffee and taking a hefty dose of antibiotics for the Lyme disease. Perhaps I should clarify what I meant. Reading something and comprehending it are two different parts of the equation. I agree that lots of folks might read the first part take it for 'life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness' all that they require to know. Some folks get befuddled when they read anything that sounds like legalese.
I think @bigtom is still visiting with newfound relatives and enjoying the experience. I am sure we will see him back soon.
Okay, we are on the same page now.
How long have you had Lyme disease? I understand that it can be very debilitating at times.
Now that you reminded about Tom's newly discovered relatives I'm in complete agreement with your assessment; he'll be back with plenty of stories and pictures.
Have a great Saturday, I have to get the fire started for cooking ribs today.
I discovered the Lyme bite early on, within days so the telltale target rash had not expanded beyond an inch. So it is a course of hefty antibiotics for the next twenty-one days. I think it was caught early enough that I shouldn't have too many of the nasty side effects. But with my age and history of not conforming to the norms...who knows. I leave it to the Creator to know best.
Ribs are a favorite around here. I assume you are wood smoking those babies! They get costly around here as we can go through 40-50 pounds in one sitting!
A mix of pecan and oak wood, makes for real good flavor. You assumed right. I wish you well with that bite,
My mouth is watering already! Happy 4th of July, my friend!
Well, it wasn't a motorcycle trip, but I did put about 4500 miles in. All is well in my world, and I'm liable to write a little about what I've been up to :)
Great to hear that Tom! Glad your trip was good and home safe.
