Shall we expect some transatlantic military giant, to step over the ocean, and crush us at a blow? Never! All the armies of Europe, Asia, and Africa combined, with all the treasure of the earth (our own excepted) in their military chest; with a Bonaparte for a commander, could not by force, take a drink from the Ohio, or make a track on the Blue Ridge, in a trial of a Thousand years. At what point, then, is the approach of danger to be expected? I answer, if it ever reach us, it must spring up amongst us. It cannot come from abroad. If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of freemen, we must live through all time, or die by suicide.

I think we’ve all been in the position where we second-guess ourselves about whether or not we deserve something. Let me tell you as a musical theatre geek who really can’s sing I’ve gotten part after part in high school and community shows while my female friends with actual great singing voices get practically nothing. The gender balance and community theater is way off so i got part after part while my friends maybe got one big role every three years if they’re lucky. Iv’e had at least a named role in every show I’ve ever been in. Some girls I’ve met have never had a named role and i hear how good thier voices are and I just want to say sorry. I want to give them my part somehow because I know they’d sing it better.
