"If you love wealth more than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, depart from us in peace. We ask not your counsel nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you. May your chains rest lightly upon you and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen." Samuel Adams, (1722-1803)

Cannonball man flies over border
David Smith has an unusual way of crossing the Mexican border into the US - as a human cannonball.
Mr Smith, a professional cannonball, was launched head first across the border between Tijuana, in Mexico, and the US city of San Diego.
His son, also a human cannonball, says Mr Smith is the first person to be fired across an international border.
Mr Smith waved his passport in the air as he sat on the lip of the cannon, before leaving on the brief journey.
