Honor Your (Founding) Fathers

Honor Your (Founding) Fathers
» S.D. Smith

”I must study politics and war that my sons may have liberty to study mathematics and philosophy. My sons ought to study mathematics and philosophy, geography, natural history, naval architecture, navigation, commerce, and agriculture, in order to give their children a right to study painting, poetry, music, architecture, statuary, tapestry, and porcelain.”

John Adams, 2nd President of these States United

Today many sons and daughters study porcelain. Up close. Every weekend.

Ha, JD. Funny. You must be an enemy of America.

I had a good fourth. I felt like the 4th was with me.
