Independence Day
As we celebrated the 4th, I couldn't help but wonder how much of our independence that the great heroes of this country fought for has been lost. Do yourself a favor and read the Declaration of Independence. You'll be asking the same question, how did our government get so big and have so much control over its people?
The declaration was issued to protect citizens from tyranny and unwanted policy. My, how things have changed since 1776. Hope you had a safe and happy holiday......
