Independence Day

Happy Birthday United States of America!

It seems appropriate to me that the freedoms that I enjoy because I live in this country be acknowledged by utilizing one of our basic rights - Freedom of Speech.

With all of its struggles, growing pains and challenges, this is a great country. I can go to church and not be afraid to do so. I can express my views, no matter how unpopular they may be, and still be protected. I can have a say in the political process. I can...

So, Happy Birthday United States of America.

I say that because I can.
