Before the Pilgrims landed gezegde

 Before the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth, we were here. Before the pen of Jefferson etched across the pages of history the majestic words of the Declaration of Independence, we were here.

 It's like landing at Plymouth Rock. The Pilgrims have landed at Plymouth Rock, but there will be many winners as this new field evolves.

 When the pilgrims, seeking religious freedom, landed at Plymouth rock, the first permanent building put up was the brewery

 You can almost hear those trees talk. You can feel it, the history. When John Hancock, John Adams, Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson were signing the Declaration of Independence, this forest was already growing.

 I was the oldest member of the Second Continental Congress. I was on a committee to draft the declaration of why we deserved to seek our independence. I saw many, many changes made to that declaration. Mr. Jefferson, who wrote it, was a little upset about some of that, but we talked about it, and he realized that the changes were necessary, if for no other reason, than to make each one of us a part of that document.

 Consider this, for starters. Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg Address, which has defined the character of the nation, is all of 268 words. The Declaration of Independence runs about 1,300 words.

 I love the Plymouth library. I went to the history room and read the book on the 20th century history of Plymouth and thought it was great. I read they were going to do a second book. I hadn't thought about that case in years, but it all came back. I read what was available on it and realized we needed a more balanced treatment.

 Thirty years after drafting the US Declaration of Independence, Thomas Jefferson warned of the dangers posed by the corporation, writing of the need to "crush in its birth the aristocracy of our moneyed corporations, which dare already to challenge our government to a trial of strength and bid defiance to the laws of our country." Today, instead, the aristocracy of the corporation has grown to full maturity, wielding power over the state and its laws in the service of corporate aims.
