Did you enjoy a pleasant 4th of July celebration?<br /><br />Pam: None of our current political leaders are capable of producing such a document, much less exhibiting the fortitude to implement it.<br /><br />Low light will be and is challenging. I look forward to what everyone comes up with.<br /><br />Hope Kym's doing well.<br /><br />K9: The basics of the document are sound and solid and really only need to evolve, in that it include all men and women. It does not however, need to include those unwilling to learn, produce or work.<br /> <br />Boxer: I believe it is. The question is are we actually teaching the children true meaning of the document. That liberty and freedom are treasured commodities. Commodities worth fighting and dying for. Commodities not to be given lightly into the hands of a politician willing to sell you short, for his own personal gain.<br /><br />We all had quite a fine time, the cats however were not impressed with 4 solid days of fireworks. I find it interesting that you're so surprised about the cats. They're better suited to boat life than dogs. I actually feel sorry for most of the live-aboard dogs, I've met. Not that their owners don't love them. Dogs need to be able to run and frolic. (or obsessively chase tennis balls.) Not conducive to boat life.<br /><br />Moi: Yes, but the individual (England) was restraining the rights of the collective. I believe you may be right.<br /><br />Not only scary that the grievances are still in place, that so many are no longer willing to fight for them.<br /><br />Buzz Kill: And worth fighting for. When you're done vacationing up in the lap of luxury. I would charge you to impress upon your Scouts, the importance and the meaning of the document. Their freedom depends on it.<br /><br />How about are rich Central American country?<br /><br />Roses: No recovery necessary, although several hours at 50 feet today, felt quite therapeutic.<br /><br />We are indeed well. Times for you are challenging right now. You seem to be on the right path, hold to it.<br /><br />All the people, duly noted.<br /><br />To all: Sorry for the slow reply. I hope all of you had a fine holiday, being the party host and work can be quite time consuming.Karlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18233754448811631284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37313309.post-83971282001645129742011-07-05T06:42:33.872+00:002011-07-05T06:42:33.872+00:00Happy 5th of July, as you recover from the celebra...Happy 5th of July, as you recover from the celebrations of the fouth.<br /><br />Hope you are both well.<br /><br />I think it's a very fine document indeed.
