    PLATTEVILLE, Sept. 16 — Thursday is a day that should be celebrated more than it is across this nation. In the 250 years since the American colonists told King George III that keeping a colony 4,200 miles away by boat was madness, many soon-to-be-former colonies have declared independence from their soon-to-be-former colonial masters. Eleven years and one war later came what distinguishes the U.S. from any country of the late 18th century, the Constitution. The concept of the common people being
