Independence

Being that it is Independence Day in this great Republic, The United States of America, I find it fitting to refer you to a great article posted from a place you would normally associate with hippies, war protestors and flag burners (the U.S. flag, not any other one), Santa Cruz, California.

Entitled ”As We See It: Declaration of Independence: Great in any version”, it is a great post and I recommend you read it.

To stimulate your appetite, here is an excerpt:
