it's all about freedom

In the days of innocence, freedom meant, family picnics, aunts leaving lipstick on your cheek, tons of yummy food, water balloons, sparklers and fireworks
then,
freedom to make choices........ with the pesky responsibility issue, bending the rules, and fireworks
then,
a day off from work, and fireworks
then,
freedom from complicity of exploitation and disposability, no fireworks, just escaping hell fire
then,
freedom to be authentic, celebrating it, awareness, community picnics, tons of yummy food, and spectacular fireworks


In God we trust


"Suppose a nation in some distant Region should take the Bible for their only law Book, and every member should regulate his conduct by the precepts there exhibited! Every member would be obliged in conscience, to temperance, frugality, and industry; to justice, kindness, and charity towards his fellow men; and to piety, love, and reverence toward Almighty God ... What a Utopia, what a Paradise would this region be."
John Adams 2nd U.S. President and Signer of the Declaration of Independence
