Well, despite all the things that have happened over the past 234 years, I still think that we are darned lucky to be able to live in a place like the ol' U.S.A. I spent the past week up in O'Canada, visiting friends and taking part in a fun Canada Day celebration (1 July). Canada and the USA share a lot of things, and we are truly lucky folks. The loudest detractors within our countries to our way of life seem (to me anyway) to be those who generally benefit the most from them. Having traveled extensively (to some very nice, and some not-so-very-nice places), I still am struck by the incredible freedoms that we enjoy. Abbie Hoffman may have toungue-in-cheek described it best when he described freedom as the ability to yell "theater" in a crowded fire, but we do have a lot to be thankful for, and may America, and her northern neighbor, continue to be free and a unique place in the world for a hundred hundred more 4th of July's!
