I'm here in my building where I work. From the executive offices, we can see the fireworks show downtown right up close, and at about the height that the explosions will be happening.
But the real show is all the fireworks that people are using in their own neighborhoods. It's like the city is a battlefield.
A one of a kind celebration. Best to you and yours.
Some thoughts from Ed Cone.
Note that it is a right to the pursuit of Happiness, not to Happiness itself, and that despite the messages of our consumer culture, Happiness is not always the same thing as Fun.Amen.
And some from Radley Balko.
The purpose of the U.S. Constitution, then, is not to tell us what rights we have. We're born with the right to do as we please, so long as we don't harm anyone else.
The Constitution's purpose is to outline what rights we give to the government, and to firmly define the limits of government power.
Unfortunately, this isn't widely understood.
And here's a bit from Powerline, with an Abe Lincoln speach on the subject too!
