19 April


Today, 19 April,  235 years ago,  American/English patriots were challenged to decide to follow "The Laws of Nature and of Nature's God" and commit what their country England's laws called "treason":    To protect their stores of armaments from being seized by their own King, they fired on their own country's soldiers, first at Lexington, then at Concord, Massachusetts later that morning.

FWIW, April 19th is also the day of Waco burning down, OK City bombing and the day before Columbine.

My $.02, FWIW:  OK city and Columbine were heinous crimes perpetrated by criminals. Waco was a heinous crime perpetrated by our own government against citizens. As was Ruby Ridge.  Things never should have progressed that far.

Don't worry; I see no connection between the dates, just a goofy coincidence!
