Word of the day: celebration
"You have to love a nation that celebrates its independence every July 4, not with a parade of guns, tanks, and soldiers who file by the White House in a show of strength and muscle, but with family picnics where kids throw Frisbees, the potato salad gets iffy, and the flies die from happiness. You may think you have overeaten, but it is patriotism. "
Erma Bombeck
While we're all enjoying our BBQ ribs, corn and beans...potato and Jello salads and of course apple pie, take a moment to reflect on why you think we celebrate our nations independence.
This iddin' it...but I loved the cartoon and of course it would be nice if we could be independent of foreign oil...Oil is only one of the many things strangling us. the economy, joblessness, continuous gulf oil spill, illegal immigration, border security, Afghanistan, Iraq...to name the most obvious...So, this weekend we will celebrate our independence from the British and the birth our nation. Happy Birthday America.
