If there were any justice, every time some idiot set off a firecracker within hearing distance of a dog, a canine penis would materialize in the air and take a whiz on the miscreant's head.

John Adams:
Is anybody there?
Does anybody care?
Does anybody see what I see?
They want to me to quit.
They say, "John, give up the fight."
Still
to England I say:
Good night, forever, good night!
For I have crossed the Rubicon,
Let the bridge be burned behind me,
Come
what may, come what may.
Commitment!
The croakers all say we'll rue the day,
There'll be hell to pay in
fiery purgatory.
Through all the gloom, through all the gloom,
I
can see the rays of ravishing light and glory!
Is anybody there?
Does anybody care?
Does anybody see what I see?
I see fireworks!
I see the pageant and pomp and parade!
I hear the
bells ringing out!
I hear the cannons' roar!
I see Americans - all
Americans.
Free forevermore!
How quiet, how quiet the chamber is.
How silent, how silent the
chamber is.
Is anybody there?
Does anybody care?
Does anybody see what I see?
