Psst...

DemocRAYcy here.

Before you head off for some Que and fireworks, let's take a moment to reflect.  Not on the usual freedom and prosperity and opportunity and land of milk and honey stuff.  Let's take a moment to marvel at how a bunch of 18th Century misfits decided (half drunk I would guess) to give Merry Ole England the finger.

What is it about the water over here that makes people want to completely rebel.  Nope, the rules don't apply to us.  We can do whatever we want.  We can have tea parties and revolutions.  We can have our own country, print our own money and create just about anything we need.  Creativity and freedom, that's what it's all about.  The freedom to create religions, wear purple boots and even invent the light bulb.  How's that for a shining example of creativity.  

Want another......Only in this country could a beer swilling, elk shooting, tiny-town mayor become Governor of Alaska and then actually believe that she was qualified to become President.  It's that give Merry Ole England the finger mentality that makes it possible.  Millions and millions of us running around giving people the finger.  It's truly contagious.  You know that experiment where they proved yawns are contagious.  Well you should try giving someone the finger.  Go on.  It's fun.  It's patriotic.  It's down right American.  Now see if the people around you are doing it to.  Even if they're not, I'll bet they want to.

Happy 4th of July people............by the way, you can't see my finger in the picture but....

Signing off until Monday...
