A man is rich in proportion to the number of things which he can afford to let alone.
-- Henry David Thoreau -
As a nation, be began by declaring that 'all men are created equal'.... When the Know-Nothings get control, it will read 'all men are created equal, except negroes, and foreigners, and Catholics.' When it comes to this I should prefer emigrating to some country where they make no pretense of loving liberty &mdash to Russia, for instance, where despotism can be taken pure, and without the base alloy of hypocrisy.

#Rivian will race the new 1,025hp Ascend Quad Max #R1T at #PikesPeak this week
The Pike’s Peak International Hill Climb is one of the longest-running races in the world, being held 102 times since 1916. Also known as the #RaceToTheClouds.
Rivian’s entry is a stock R1T – but with Rivian’s new upgraded “#AscendQuadMax” trim. This ups the torque and horsepower to 1,198lb-ft and 1,025hp respectively, much higher than the previous 835hp top-spec.
