It gives me great pleasure to know that, as we celebrate the birth of modern democracy, Slobodan Milosevic---a modern-day Hitler--- is sitting in a cell in The Hague, where the whole world will hear about his crimes against humanity. Gimme a high-five!
Lord knows this country ain't perfect. We still don't get along with each other as well as we could...and should. Many of us still judge people by various immutable characteristics, which flies in the face of what our founding fathers intended (that little "all men are created equal" thing, which needs to be changed to "people").
But, all in all, I think we're moving in the right direction. We've been at it for 225 years and being the envy of the entire world is a good sign.
So Happy Independence Day. Enjoy your freedom to do whatever you please today...and every day. Me...I'm going to eat too much, drink too much, and golf like Tiger (at least until the "drink too much" part sets in). Cheers!

Have a safe and pleasant Fouth of July. Remember those who gave their lives so we have the opportunity to express our viewS and disagree. I am flying Old Glory and relaxing on a dock by the bay, or TO BE PERFECTLY HONEST maybe a short distance up the James.
GOD BLESS AMERICA!!

Happy Birthday America! from San Diego where the weather is cooler than it is in Tampa. Let's all strive to uphold those truths that this country was founded upon. Celebrate the freedoms to the max.
and always remember, "He who goes forth on the fourth with a fifth, may not come forth on the fifth." Be careful out there! Derith

Great picture of Old Glory! Am I counting correctly that the flag is really an Old Glory with 48 stars?
Thanks Sue
