Two hundred twenty nine years ago a bunch of guys got together, scratched out those instructions as simple as there are..


And we are still in awe of then today.

Do you think anyone of them went home that night and said to themselves,

"Damn, That was pretty good writing.....I wonder how they'll last ......."

I can't even think about leaving something behind that would still be used, argued about, revered, scroned, respected and true for a few weeks let along a couple of centuries.....


I think we got something special here....
