Post-Independence

On Independence Day, we rode the trail along the Mississippi River, through the woods, under the moon, surrounded by fireflies and peering critters' eyes.

Also, some ramblings on Freedom™:

We are as free as our willingness to submit to arbitrary rules.
We are as free as the amount of humiliation we will endure.
We are as free as the best lawyer we can afford.
We are as free as our skin pigment allows us to be.
We are as free as the home we can afford.
We are as free as the food we can afford.
We are as free as the medical care we can afford.
We are as free as the quality of life we can afford.
