“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.”

I just downloaded ieSpell. It's a free spell checker extension for Internet Explorer and IE based browsers. I think it may be handy, assuming it works.
When I use Windows Live Writer to post items to the blog I can take advantage of its built in spell checking. That works for most of the computers I use.
Unfortunately, I can't use Windows Live Writer on my primary machine at home. For some reason on that machine it fails to post. That's one of the things I'm going to have to work on soon.
When I use Firefox to post to the blog it highlights misspelled words for me as I type. I think that's pretty handy, but it doesn't give me suggested spellings. ieSpell does that.
Who knows... maybe the spelling in my posts will get a little better.
Every little bit helps.
