Independence Day!

Hope everyone had a fun and safe Independence Day. An interesting side note: scientists at the Library of Congress recently discovered that when Thomas Jefferson was working on a draft of the Declaration of Indepedence, he first wrote the word "subjects", wiped it out, and replaced with the word "citizens".

For a quick review of the history of the Declaration of Independence, check out the wikipedia article. We should remember the context of the holiday we are celebrating.
