“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.”
— The Continental Congress, July 4, 1776
“The task of statesmanship has always been the re-definition of these rights in terms of a changing and growing social order.”
— Franklin D. Roosevelt (Commonwealth Club Address, 1932)
“Roosevelt was wrong! The principles laid down in the Declaration of Independence are the principles of individual liberty. Our unalienable rights, given to us by God are given to us as individuals. Our rights do not come from society or the government, and they cannot be redefined by politicians. The nature of these rights carries with it the implication of individual responsibility, without which we surrender them.”

Windows Live Writer - Beta 3

Windows Live Writer, the tool I use to post to this website has been updated again. It's now in Beta 3. According to Microsoft this is the last beta before the final release of the program.
The most recently added features include inserting video into posts and XHTML markup. I don't need the XHTML markup features (yet) but the video inserts are really easy. You can add a YouTube video to a post by simply copying the URL to the clipboard and pasting it into the post editor, in the WYSIWIG mode.
That's a lot nicer than having to switch to HTML mode to edit the HTML directly. One thing that I think would be handy though is the ability to upload video to your blog in the same way you upload images.
The cool thing is, you can write and add your own plugins for Windows Live Writer. That's a feature that's been around for a while. I may just have to write my own plugin to upload video to my site and manage the embed.
