Five boxes preserve our freedoms: soap, ballot, witness, jury, and cartridge.

Hey Doc. Should that quote be attributed to you or what?

Yes, at least mostly, 'Way back when email first started (with long
strings of !...!...! in the addresses), I had "Three boxes..." (altho
I don't recall just which three). Shortly thereafter, someone suggested
a fourth box and someone else the fifth, and I was lucky enough to be
able to condense all five boxes into the one line I've used ever since.
