Yesterday was the 4th of July.A momentous day in history,usually celebrated with various degrees of raucous partying, followed by beautiful celestrial paintings in the night sky.
Yesterday felt different.The mood was subdued. The party was somewhat forced.The back ground swell of street explosions was missing,and the sounds of revelry rang somewhat hollow.
I sense a shift in mood. A change engendered by certain realities .Perhaps an undercurrent of surpressed anger and a touch of dispair.
World forces are pushing the collective US around,and We don’t do” getting pushed against our will ” very well.
We are a diverse ecclectic group who love and value out freedom and our independence.
Push US around too much, and you’ll be sorry. We’ll be politically correct, and turn the other cheek,……for a while.
Keep this up and you better duck. We are Americans!!!!
