I realize you are not Canadian, Rush - but Happy (belated) Canada Day anyway!
Enjoy the day, sir!
The United States of America and the University of Alabama.
Two things we all agree on. God bless them both.

So glad you're here, Chattbrit. Assuming your birth was in the UK, I'm curious...
Where were you born, why did you come here, and why did you feel it was a better option for you? Has your view changed in the last five years? Why or why not?
I'm sorry. I don't mean it to be an interrogation. I just love to get the perspectives of people who choose to be here as adults, when they have, literally, a world of options to be elsewhere.
What follows is what I post every year on my Facebook page, titling at yet another windmill I realize.
Okay; a bit of a nit/rant here. Yes it's the Fourth of July, but I think that undersells the occasion. It's Independence Day. We don't talk about celebrating the 25th of December, the fourth Thursday in November, the 15th day of Nisan, or the Sunday following the first Friday after the vernal equinox. Why? Because what the day means is more important than what the date is.
So, it's the 4th of July; but I'm celebrating Independence Day. Join me...

Just finished watching Saving Private Ryan.
Always get something in my eye when Cpt. Miller takes Ryan by the hand at the bridge and says, "Earn this.....EARN IT."
Miller wasn't talking to Ryan. He was talking to all of us (including me) who did not have to serve in the armed forces. Because people like him did.
John Miller was a fictional character. But there were countless thousands of real men just like him. I wish them peaceful rest, and give them my gratitude.

For me, it's when he asks his wife at the cemetery to tell him that he's been a good man. I lose it every time there.
I'd like to share this quote that I've seen attributed to John Adams, in a letter addressed to his wife, Abigail:
