Independence Day

I hope everyone enjoys Independence Day and realizes how fortunate we truly are that we live in this country.

Those of you who are convinced that we are heading toward facism - well, all I can say is the trains and planes do not run on time, the government does not control industry and we do not have any gulags or concentration camps, or anything close to them. Catch up on history. we are the most free people on this planet, and face it, that is what pisses off so many other countries.

We are celebrating the fact that we govern ourselves today. We are not governed by the UN or the EU or anyother non-US entity. And that is the way it should be and should always be.

Go read Glenn Reynolds' article if you have finished with your cookout and you are waiting for the fireworks. For a lawyer, he has a pretty good understanding of what Freedom really means.
I'm not going to post anymore today - perhaps tomorrow night, once I get to Phoenix.
