Hi and Happy 4th of July to all...

I thought I would say hi, and start a discussion about the 4th of July and being a different learner.

What does the 4th mean to you? Well, for me, it means freedom and justice. I can not image being in any other country in the world and getting this far in my life. (JMO)

I have never told anyone this...but... Everytime I come back from school, driving down the highway, I see the American Flag on bridges. I look at those flags w/graditute and wisper a silent Amen. I am so thankful to be an American because here, I am able to learn and grow. Even with our systems flaws (every system has them) my country embrasses me.

My country tries to respect peooples differences, and my country also tries to tolorate diversity.

As long as my country keeps trying to learn acceptance, I will continue to try to advocate for those different from myself, like myself and for myself.

Freedom and Justice is that powerful.

You might say that this is self-righteous.

Heck, Heck, Amercians are self-righteous, individually, as groups, as communities, and as a nation.

Oh boy, I guess I opened a can of worms here.

But...since today is the 4th...

I give 2 thumbs up to: POWER TO THE PEOPLE!!!  :-)
