Ruthmarie, it has been quite a while and then to come back with such a thought provoking post, you might have inspired me to write another post about Independence day! Have a happy 4th, Endre
Hi Donna - I liked it better than fireworks...
Hi Endre - It was inspired by a lot of things. Most of all because things are just NOT getting better for far too many hard working people that I know. They are drowning and everything they have worked for all their lives is slipping away. All they can see ahead of them is an impoverished old-age. Meanwhile, the banksters are having a party illegally forclosing on people and not paying any price whatsoever. I had a friend who went through an illegal foreclosure. What did she get in compensation? $300. $300 that she had to split with her ex-husband. Our government isn't functioning. So we need to STOP waving the flag and start demanding that our public servants start acting like public servants. That takes work and effort, but it needs to be done.
| Excellent accompanying photo Ruthmarie. It's good to hear from you again. All the best and may you have a prosperous 2013. |
Ruthmarie~ Thank you for sharing this photo. The quiet symbolism is very impactful.
