#361....In Congress, July 4, 1776, the unanimous Declaration

"When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the Powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation."

                  

armandt asks.."I'd like to see what 3 things you think are greatest about the United States."

I can think of a myriad of things - but in the end - they always distill out to one word:

1)freedom
2)freedom
3)and more freedom -

to do, say, believe, think, read, write, protect, elect, impeach, explore, own, move, pursue, create, appreciate, and enjoy.

So peoples - Happy 4th.

Enjoy your day,

and your country,

and most of all,

your freedoms - that infuse us daily

and in every aspect of our living. 

And remember to be humble and most grateful - for they came not easily, nor peacefully, nor without personal cost...then -

or now.
