The Fourth of July, the U.S. Independence Day



Hey All,
 
    I just wanted to post in with something a little more on the lighter side after my edged interaction with John M.  He's a fighter, so I've tried to speak to him in a language that he knows.
 
Speaking of fighters, today is our celebration of Independence.  We here in the U.S. have it pretty good.  We are almost as drunk with, as unaware of, our prosperity. 
 
I hope all of you here in the States hug a neighbor, eat a meal, and set some grass on fire.  Maybe let each other know that although our nation has fallen short on occasion, our experiment in democracy has brought us a long way. Achieving it and keeping it has entailed a great many of things.
 
My best to you all.
