Hope no one lost any fingers lighting fireworks. My neighborhood was a fireworks war zone from about 9:30 pm until midnight. My poor dog barked himself hoarse.
Every year we are reminded of the wisdom of our founding fathers. A government for the people and by the people was unheard of in the 18th century. The US Constitution has stood the test of time. Now we take our country and our freedoms too much for granted.
We always felt reasonably safe through wars, the Great Depression, desegregation, and a multitude of other fears and threats. We knew that our present leaders were just as wise as the Ben Franklins and George Washingtons of the past. We looked on them as intelligent men and women who possessed integrity and were willing to give up a normal comfortable life to be "public servents". Oh my. The time has come to maybe be a little fearful of a government structure that has become too huge, with far too many dishonest hands in the common barrel. Men and women who have no fear of God as did the founding fathers.
Guess maybe we have become too smart, too saavy for a God of the ages. We have highly educated, very intelligent, honest men and women to run the government. Why should I be afraid. If they can't solve the problems, our computers will eventually do it. More... maybe.
