Happy 247th birthday America! You set another world record! No other nation in recorded history has had a single form of government for as long as ours has. Since our Constitution went into effect in 1789, France has seen 15 constitutions come and go.

A famous quote attributed to Mark Twain is that “History never repeats itself, but it often rhymes.” I looked it up to get the quote right and found that he may have never said it at all. I find that to be the case with a lot of quotes I research.
