We chatted for a moment, and I asked him how he accounted in his imagination for the amazing fact of the genius cluster that founded our nation. How did so many gifted men, true geniuses, walk into history at the same time, in the same place, and come together to pursue so brilliantly a common endeavor? "I think it was providential," he said, simply.It seems timely to repeat a familiar quote, purportedly by Bismarck: "God has a special providence for fools, drunks, and the United States of America."
Well, so do I. If you do too, it's part of what you're celebrating today.
Happy Independence Day!
