I love America. Which is probably why I love this Holiday so much - we get to celebrate America. The Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave. A beautiful country with so much diversity. I remarked to Carlin once that I could spend my whole life exploring what America has to offer let alone what the world has to offer.
Pres. Gordon B. Hinckley in his book Stand for Something said what I feel but could not put into words. He said, "I love America for its great and brawny strength, the products of its vital factories, and the science of its laboratories. I love it for the great intellectual capacity of its people, for their generous hearts and helping hands. I love America's tremendous spiritual heritage and strengths."
Happy Independence Day!
"We, the People of the United States, in order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common Defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Consituttion for the United States of America."

I feel the same way Aubrey, yay for independence/freedom. Oh, and Kathleen was in the restroom when I "biffed" it.
Aubrey, i like the way you think.
So true! Even with all of it's problems, America is still a fabulous country to live in!
