A google view of the world:

Musing on Jefferson’s “We might have been a free and a great people together” line, I did a google search for “a free and a great people together” (without the quotes). Here were the first ten results:

(Had I surrounded the search string with quotes, I’d have gotten the Declaration draft; my whole point was to exclude the quotes and see what google found for me.) No, I have no broad political or philosophical point with it. I just found the juxtaposition amusing.
