The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out... without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost inevitably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane, intolerable. ~ H. L. Mencken
Franklin was correct; our national bird (and foreign policy) should have been the Native American Turkey, and not the Bald Eagle.

A snake is not a bird though. We can have both, a national bird and a national snake. Not that I care about it at all though, because I don't. However the bible does mention an Eagle when Jesus was talking about the last days, I don't know if he was referring to the USA there or not.
