Happy Birthday USA

Happy 235th Birthday America. What a concept our fore fathers had and the desire for freedom. OK, it was a bunch of rich guys who didn't want to pay taxes and repayment of loans. America has become from the beginning, the greatest land in the world. Sometimes we forget this. We have had our growing pains, we were not the best and brightest in some areas, we had slavery, it took almost a hundred years to abolish this and another hundred years to give the decedents of slaves the civil rights that they, as Americans, were due. We are growing older and as a country we are changing to make sure that the words of the Declaration of Independence are still true today as they were when Jefferson wrote them. "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal,that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." . To show that we are still growing as a people New York State has just passed a law allowing same sex marriage, not to get into a debate here but doesn't that say just what Jefferson said. Enjoy your holiday and I hope you like the music I chose.
