Happy Fourth of July


My unlimited love to my American brothers and sisters out there, especially the great fellow bloggers that I have met since starting posting. As a Canadian I have the luxury of being able to watch your nation struggle with its noble ideals against the worst of its excesses from across our shared border. Sometimes it seems that your nation is on the edge of the cliff waiting to jump or be pushed into the abyss. However, each day, you find a way to keep the hope alive while remaining true to your Constitution (THE greatest document on governance ever created by man), your Bill of Rights and the aspirations of your people. I don't think any other population in the world could do the job that your nation has taken upon itself to do. Its a no-win scenario but I wouldn't want it in any other hands. Since it took the genius of a Canadian and an American to create the greatest of the superheroes, Superman, I post this trailer from 'Superman Returns'. Marlon Brando's speech from the first Superman movie is among the most iconic and moving in movie history and I think it perfectly captures the spirit of your nation, its potential and its future. You might just save us all. Happy Fourth of July my friends.

Thanks for your well wishes for us on our nation's birthday. Some of your country men and women usually having nothing but snide things to say about us here in the USA. What they conveniently forget is, we are all Americans.

Its the love/hate thing we have with you and our total denial about the influence you have on us. We should celebrate the good more than we critisize the bad but human nature being the way it is we don't.

We appreciate the well wishes, and may I wish you a belated happy Canada Day in return.
