I finally went to see 'The King's Speech' yesterday.

Great movie and Colin Firth completely earned his Best Actor Oscar.

It was also quite amazing to come home & play King George VI's actual 1939 speech to the British people, after having seen Firth's re-enactment in the movie.


A wise and frugal government, which shall leave men free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned - this is the sum of good government.

- THOMAS JEFFERSON
