Happy Independence Day!

I would like to wish my husband and all my American friends a happy 4th of July.

The birth of your nation heralded the ideals of democracy, the self-evident truths that all humans are created equal and that we humans are all born with certain inalienable rights, among which are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

You have been a beacon for freedom and democracy before and can become so once again! 

Thought of the Day

George Orwell, once said: "If liberty means anything at all, it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear". 

I am grateful to anyone and everyone who gives me the right to speak my mind. 

I really do take pains to make my views clear in a nonaggressive, nice and humane way except when I honestly believe a more forceful stance is called for.

Enough said on that subject ha ha ha
