July 4th. Independence Day. Don't dare celebrate it without some somber reflection, because the day represents something truly important and something from which you should be tirelessly inspired. As a 'foreigner' I can only look on with admiration and optimism.

Liberty is always dangerous, but it is the safest thing we have. ~Harry Emerson Fosdick
Thanks and a belated Happy Canada Day too you!
