Benjamin Franklin was walking out of Independence Hall after the Constitutional Convention in 1787, when someone shouted out, “Doctor, what have we got? A republic or a monarchy?”
To which Franklin supposedly responded, with a rejoinder at once witty and ominous: “A republic, if you can keep it.”
Oh and also ... Really proud of my girl! Kathy scored a Sharp Shooter Patch on the Samuel Whittemore Pistol Qualifier yesterday at a Revere's Riders event. Big ole HUZZAH for my Baby!!!
