It is a Happy Fourth of July!

Today is July 4, 2007. It is the day that the United States of America declared independence from Great Britain in 1776. We are still declaring independence only now it is for others, not just ourselves. We may be reviled for doing so but we are also accused of withholding our strength and wealth if we do not. Do you know the old saying "Damned if I do, damned if I don't?" The USA would rather be damned for doing.

I am a citizen of the USA and proud to be so.

Thank you to the men and women who work and fight around the globe to protect our right and the right of others to independence.
Happy Fourth of July!
