To see the state of America 100 years hence
Here is this Wednesday's Libation Quotation. Once I found this quote, I started reading about Ben Franklin. He's starting to be my favorite Founding Father!
... having a very ardent desire to see the state of America 100 years hence, I should prefer to any ordinary death being immersed in a cask of Madeira wine, with a few friends, till that time, to be then recalled to life by the solar warmth of my dear country!"
~Benjamin Franklin, after discussing reviving drunken flies in sunlight
