Independence Day 2009

I can't improve upon what I said last year. Take a few minutes to read and absorb the meaning of those words. Unlike so called leaders of today, those men meant what they said.

In some ways it seems like we are further than ever from those ideals, in other ways it feels like it's getting closer to the conditions that existed back then.

That aside, enjoy your holiday if you're lucky enough to be off from work. If you're a shootie sort, go to your favorite range and send some lead down range. The Founding Fathers will smile upon you, because that's the reason for the whole thing.
