That Newton Guy. Pretty Smart Feller.

To wit: Every body perseveres in its state of being at rest or of moving uniformly straight forward, except insofar as it is compelled to change its state by force impressed.

Or, as you may know it better, “An object at rest tends to stay at rest, and an object in motion tends to stay in motion, unless acted upon by an outside force.”

Inertia has kept this site going for almost 7 years, but outside forces are now starting to exceed that inertia, and it is becoming a body at rest. And until outside forces change, or start pushing another direction, this object will probably stay at rest.

But, then again, this has been fairly apparent for the last 18 months or so, this is just to kind of make it semi-official.

So, until the net force upon this object at rest changes, I leave you with this:

“If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquillity of servitude than the animating contest of freedom, — go from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen!”
