Independence Day 2020

We all have our politics and our views but keep this in mind, we wouldn't have any of this if not for all that has gone on before.  Good, bad and ugly.  We have the freedom, the independence, to speak our minds, to protest and even to protest the protests.  We have the freedom of information and the right to ignore it if it we feel it impinges on our rights.  Right or wrong we have the right to choose.  We often talk about Freedom having a cost and usually associate that with the brave Americans who have sacrificed so much, even their lives, to secure that Freedom.  But in this moment with so much anger and division dominating our country the cost of Freedom is front and center. Good. Bad.Ugly.

I believe in America, in the idea of America.  The men that framed this country may not have been perfect, who among us is.  But their ideas were, are, good.  Great even.  It's up to us to implement the best parts of them.

Enjoy this Independence Day safely, sanely and with gratitude in your hearts.
