On Giving Thanks

"Let us remember that, as much has been given us, much will be expected from us, and that true homage comes from the heart as well as from the lips, and shows itself in deeds." -- Teddy Roosevelt

Happy Thanksgiving, dear readers.

Happy Thanksgiving Nats and Nats fans

[Peanuts and Cracker Jack]

I consider the government of the United States as interdicted by the Constitution from intermeddling with religious institutions, their doctrines, discipline, or exercises...Certainly no power to prescribe any religious exercise, or to assume authority in religious discipline, has been delegated to the general government. ...But it is only proposed that I should recommend, not prescribe a day of fasting and prayer. That is, that I should indirectly assume to the United States an authority over religious exercises, which the Constitution has directly precluded them from...civil powers alone have been given to the President of the United States and no authority to direct the religious exercises of his constituents.

-- Thomas Jefferson, letter to Reverend Samuel Miller, January 23, 1808.

Happy Thanksgiving, TNE!
