Happy 4th and 5th of July!! As America adds another year - there's much to be done and said in the name of Freedom and Democracy just as there was in 1776. The lines are more blurred now in 2009, many things don't make sense. A war that goes on and on to help other people (who may not even want it) have democracy. The muscling of newer Nations, the resurgence of older than time religious wars and societies. The loss of America as a world dominant power, and city police arresting folks for fireworks in celebration. Who'd have thunk!!
My goal- to re-read Animal Farm with a new understanding of the impact. At age 16 when I read this, I remember (naively) thinking, no way that could possibly happen. Hum! Let's see how many more truisms I'll relate to now.
