Many people in the US take for granted Independence Day celebrated on the 4th of July every year. I do not. Independence from tyrannical European hegemonic thought was paid for with lives and it gave us a unique period in history to recognize human rights as God given. NOT STATE GIVEN. Not to be usurped by the coercive influence of status, cash or momentary illusions of power over those around you.
So please take a moment to ponder what amazing progress this concept gave the world. It is easy for the fortunate moneyed elite around this world to imagine they have all of the answers. Somehow they are so much better than their brethren... No, they are deluded for sure... better - no not by a long shot! Rights are not to be twiddled away by a bureaucrat you've never heard of. That is what happens when governments ignore the rule of law that was crafted by democratic process over years of debate. Once that happens, the message is clear... there IS NO RULE OF LAW. So beware of what you wish for. Hard fought freedom demands respect from many directions. It's disintegration returns us to the 1500's. Katey bar the door.
I wish all my visitors a pleasant Independence Day and hope the deeper meaning isn't lost by the mindless television shows and the choreographed news media. IF THAT LINK WONT WORK...These are simply recent owners of the airwaves who have an agenda to sell for profit with no stake in the game.
Well that's my 2 cents for Independence Day!
