The incredible risks taken by people of the time. Could you imagine if California decided that armed warfare was required to break away from the U.S. The incredible concept that the People have the power, which is vested in its representatives in government. That for being such a young nation the amount influence and power the U.S. wields in the world. interesting concept Michigan man  ...why do you suggest California ? 
I'm not very political but i know this state leads the way in many things
Size,population, economic importance to the rest of the country. Besides I was born there. |

California is near & dear to my heart 
I have lived in Northern California since 1971
except for three years when i was in Washington State 
& was married & raised a beautiful Family here 
& it hurts to see what's happening here in many ways 
and i hope it turns around for the better
but I was born and raised in New England
I went to Woodstock almost forty years ago ,
while my Brave Brothers fought in Vietnam 
I can never thank them enough for without them none of that & so much more would have been possible What We Remember: A Tribute to Soldiers Everywhere http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x3wh9raeD_Y&feature=related

just another day to me ..... 
Please Remember Me ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nptA5uj6ZRY&NR=1 Dante's Dream by Loreena Mckennitt When the dark wood fell before me And all the paths were overgrown When the priests of pride say there is no other way I tilled the sorrows of stone I did not believe because I could not see Though you came to me in the night When the dawn seemed forever lost You showed me your love in the light of the stars Cast your eyes on the ocean Cast your soul to the sea When the dark night seems endless Please remember me Then the mountain rose before me By the deep well of desire From the fountain of forgiveness Beyond the ice and fire Cast your eyes on the ocean Cast your soul to the sea When the dark night seems endless Please remember me Though we share this humble path, alone How fragile is the heart Oh give these clay feet wings to fly To touch the face of the stars Breathe life into this feeble heart Lift this mortal veil of fear Take these crumbled hopes, etched with tears We'll rise above these earthly cares Cast your eyes on the ocean Cast your soul to the sea When the dark night seems endless Please remember me Please remember me

thank you so much yet again rapunzel Ohhh ~ You are very very welcome
i know i am fanatical but there is such good reason to be ON FIRE
and it hurts me sooo much & makes me very upset & angry  too at times
to see such apathy  & lack of support  from spoiled civilians 
 for the Troops who insure Our Freedoms Every Moment in this Country

I always spend this day with my family... We usually have a bbq and some beer.. catch some fireworks. ;) Celebrate the Red, White, and Blue. A day where I'm happy to be an American and grateful to those who have served to keep us free.
Its also my birthday, but that doesn't really mean much to me... |

Well, now that I am a few lime beers into the celebration....I feel I have earned the right to say...
Woo Hoo! Let's get naked and sh*t faced to celebrate our win over the British..... That is what America's birthday is all about. Let's face it...there has never been a U.S. soldier who didn't want Americans to party and get stupid...(it is one of the things that makes our country great)...and I guarantee you...everyone who is fighting for us...want's us to party...they wanna be here..I wish they were here too. God bless my country men and women who defend my right to get retarded and blow sh*t up! Merry 4thmas kids! |

Holds a beer up to those who have served, and who are serving, friends and family in now. Cheers and many thanks!
Mostly relaxing, though I'll be up tonight keeping an eye on the local yokels so they don't set my property on fire. No rain for 3 weeks and stuff is dry, dry dry. Walks away humming "In the Navy"
Have a great evening ya'll!! |
