Celebration and Reflection

Happy birthday America, I woke up in your arms again this morning, I am concerned about you, you are trembling a bit, I am worried about the land of the free and the home of the brave. She requires attention desperately, she needs tender loving care as any home does, ongoing care taking, retrofitting for earthquakes and floods, planning for disasters and for debt service, those jobs a good parent would do.. Particularly now in this mud slinging and money wasting political atmosphere. What are we doing about the foundation of our home while the ones in charge and the ones fighting to be in charge in the future are mostly driven by personal power, greed and ego gratification? Supported by money given to them in exchange for shady promises. Freedom and independence have to be treasured as gems, protected and nourished or they cannot breathe and flourish. Tumbling down into a dangerously comatose state is a frightening possibility.

  1. Yes, every 4th of July is a reminder of the Birth of the Greatest country on Earth which we should all be proud of. However, it is painful to see our country increasingly in danger of slipping further and further into the Abyss by power hungry destructive people who are putting our liberties at jeopardy for their personal gain - every American has to remember that every single freedom lost is never regained or is regained at extreme cost. REMEMBER to Vote with your BRAIN not your heart.
