Happy Independence Day! Yippeeee! What a great day! On this day in 1776, the Declaration of Independence was drafted and we became AMERICANS. You can check out a post I wrote about the Declaration of Independence at my other blog, New York Traveler.net. Have a great day, and be sure to read the Declaration of Independence today!

Happy Independence day to you and your family. We have so much to celebrate on this 4th of July. Much to be thankful for to our forefathers and our young men and women throughout the history of the United Sates who continue to fight to keep this country free.

All, it’s Sunday and I’m catching up on comments for the week. This is in response to your comment on my post: 1968 vs. 2008: Where Have We gone Wrong?
jlpro–Sometimes the only language that is appropriate are words like “no ***.” I’m glad you enjoyed the read.
Mrs. Mecomber–I know, and isn’t it sad that those of us who were kids in the sixties with all this freedom haven’t learned any measure of restraint?
Jan–so what do we do about the whiny *** minority?
ireland5–great comments…I suppose the hard part is to figure out HOW to bring back personal responsibility, eh? And you’re right, it’s not the whole generation, just like what Jan says–the whiny ass minority.
hparis–I agree, the rise in social welfare is bad, however, it began during the depression and according to Tom Brokaw, “The Greatest Generation” turned out all right with social welfare. The thing is, social welfare, including social security has been institutionalized. How do we break away from it and stop this cycle of entitlement and taxation?
Roxy, thank you as always for your kind words. Do chime in on the debate if you get a moment.
sizzlingpopcorn–Your rant is indicative of the frustration that I think most of us feel.
Shelia–I really appreciate your awesome blog, but even more that that I appreciate your sharp mind. I think we think along the same lines on many subjects, it would be great to collaborate on some posts in the future, and if you had the time, it would be great if you could start an opinion-oriented blog.
threecollie–how could I possibly tell you graduated in 1970 just because you think this post is a good one?
Cheers!
