We proudly proclaim our diversity and freedoms, but then turn around and use exclusivity and repression when people don't measure up to our lofty individual ideals. One can only hope that future generations will have a better go at it than we've had.Dave2https://www.blogger.com/profile/15376066552003396828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1249087072631679631.post-84173492809243721132010-07-04T21:07:08.043-06:002010-07-04T21:07:08.043-06:00Very well-said, and very brave to say it.Very well-said, and very brave to say it.Alan Bennett Ilaganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08883573292340803356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1249087072631679631.post-25648106705621864272010-07-04T20:42:50.002-06:002010-07-04T20:42:50.002-06:00bravo !bravo !Ur-spohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04237644452200889946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1249087072631679631.post-1942971565868724322010-07-04T16:27:01.531-06:002010-07-04T16:27:01.531-06:00You are right on the money...but the problem is th...You are right on the money...but the problem is that these people don't want to celebrate diversity, sameness, mediocrity, conformism yes.

I find that even if I don't fly "Ol' Glory" in front of the house, someone is going to come by and torch the place down. Why can't I celebrate it the way i want to. Without flash crap that i don't need to express that I am part of one of the million other american's with a harley davis and eagle blinged out shirt stating that "I'm proud to be american". I understand that some people might think that's i'm unamerican or something like that. I too like you love this country we live in. I just have a different way of expressing it.Princessa lil mexicohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08308448682568684681noreply@blogger.com
